After not getting any response regarding the recent thread on LSA election success, I wonder if anyone would like to offer any suggestions, in the light of another defeat in the White-Hart Lane byelection,what criterion is being used to measure such levels of optimism within the LSA. Is there any member of LSA who has a clear understanding of what they are achieving in terms of fighting elections, when there record is, if anthing, getting worse. Fighting elections for the sake of it is simply daft and I would suggest that activists on the ground will, unless something is done, become disulutioned. Thus underming the whole setting up of the alliance. Whilst I'm sure that my comments may seem as a simple criticism of the LSA, they are in fact an attempt to engage the LSA in some form of realism. The reality on the ground is so far removed from what seems to be the theory underpining LSA election stratergies, that I wounder if the exsistence of LSA is not doomed.
