The content is what counts. It doesn’t matter if you are a well known member or have only just joined. We want to see the party succeed with a platform that can attract voters.
We are looking for new thinking and intelligent analysis, not personality politics or attacks on individuals.
If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.
