So much of what’s being expressed today at this conference will be outlining where we are in terms of the relationship between campaigners and the political structures in the UK, and where we’re likely to be in the near future. People who make futurological predictions about what’s going to change tend to be fairly fatalistic about the potential for change – it’s built into the kind of observational science that they indulge in.
So this post is intended to be a place where we will pull together your suggestions for transformative change in the way that campaigning organisations are formed, managed and maintain their radical edge, but still manage to access the kind of funding they need to keep going. Please do post them in the comments, cross post good things you’ve found elsewhere and discuss the potential.
It would be great for this to be the place for some big thinking, big ideas, hopes and dreams for how we can make sure that campaigning organisations don’t get sucked into a government funding vortex that removes any power they have to be the thorn in the flesh of the political establishment where required.
Over to you – please post your ideas and comments below:
