#5 Andrew Hedges on organising to win political ideas

from The New Party Podcast · host Tom Williams, Andrew Jeffery, Kallum Pembro

Ideas, debate, history and what it's like to be involved. Andrew explains more about the Democratic Bloc group and their ideas, working on shaping the new left party, but also more broadly why open debate with factions is important for the democratic health of organisations. He talks about what it's been like with factions working together recently and what it's like to get involved with Your Party's assemblies, (if they exist and are accessible to you). Along with insight into being active in what exists of the current founding process, Andrew talks about some interesting history of the Labour Party, unions and the Green Party that tells us something about what we need to build this time, and where the Green Party might be heading. Lots more too, in another packed episode.More on DemBloc here: https://www.dembloc.com/
