 Dear Colleagues,

 In Liberty,  

  
Steven Nekhaila
  
Region 2 Representative
  

  
impotentes defendere liberatum non possunt
  
“Those without power cannot defend freedom”

   of that will be relevant once the votes are tallied.

             I don’t know what’s worse - the people saying that the
     supporters
          of
             this resolution are calling for a purge, or the people
     saying
          that
             those who oppose it don’t support the Party’s principles.
             A resolution may sound like a straightforward declaration of
          principle,
             but they are always issued for strategic reasons. The fact
     that
          some
             people disagree with your strategy does not mean they oppose
     your
             principles or indeed even goals. It’s very destructive to
     behave
          as if
             they do.
             Give the reasons for your preferred strategy. Argue
     passionately
          for
             it. But stop accusing your allies of being your enemies.
