After the election

There's an interesting review of Red Pepper's analysis of Respect's campaign in the run up to the election that makes some valid points, particularly regarding the challenges Respect will face after the election, however itl turns out in the current target constituencies. Good to see a more balanced view for once. The author of the Socialist Unity Network item rightly says that at last, "somebody has gone beyond the usual dichotomy between Respect as the best thing since sliced bread versus the grumpy sectarian write-off." One might that it also makes a refreshing change from the cynical, dishonest, Stalinist name calling from the ex-CPers, ex-Clause 4 members and Labour right wingers that inhabit the pages of The Observer and lurk around sites like the execrable Harry's Place.
