I have been wondering Tom if you became a member of the party to vote for your fellow called Starmer,  did you actually join? you do realise that you will now be labelled an entryist?

I’m not an entryist. I’m a member.

 

I’m going to vote for Kier, because he’s by far the best candidate.

 

Why do you have a problem with that

You appear to have a problem with that. Guess what that makes you.

erm, where have i made any inclination that i have a problem with that? i certainly have no problem at all with that, one man one vote, thats democracy at its finest, he is not my cup of tea, but if the members decide to choose him then thats up to the members,i would think it a crazy decision, but hey..

but were you not calling people entryist when they were from the left?????

I think you probably need to look up a definition of “entryism”.

I guess you don’t.

 

If you don’t want to clarify your understanding of the concept. 
 

It might help though.

Entryism (or entrism[2]) is a tactic in which the members of an organised group conspire to secretly join a larger organisation en masse, with the intention of changing the targeted organisation's policies or actions.[3]

its not solely limited to persuasions of the left leaning....just saying

I didn’t say that it was.

 

It is, however, limited to organised groups infiltrating an organisation, with the intention of changing its ideology.

yeah yeah yeah....we know all that, the labour party is now a socialist party. it is no longer a centrist party, it is now a left leaning party (whether you like that or not)  as i said people like you who have now joined the labour party, could rightly be labelled as entryists as you are trying to infiltrate the party and take it in the direction opposite to which it currently is.....jeeez, its not that hard

But we can’t. Because we aren’t an organised group attempting to subvert the organisation.

 

There has been entryism though. And it hasn’t helped the party.

 

Things are usually only “not that hard”, if you don’t think about them thoroughly
