THE CONSERVATORY PARTY
THE CONSERVATORY PARTY
Good Afternoon
LABOUR --- the political party, as opposed to a body or physical toil rendered by labourers.
Neither is it uterine contractions in childbirth I want to draw your attention to...not that I have experienced
that you understand...I say leave that to women.
So, yes you have guessed it, I want to draw your attention to the political party representing the interests
of workers, formed in 1900 by trade unions and socialists...read it in a Christmas cracker didn't I.
Does anyone find Labour, the word and title rather prosaic, rather parochial...not International enough?
Could we not find a more sublime title for a party at the centre of UK and European politics, a
modern title...does not the name conjure up an old fashioned image, too historical?
Would it be more thought provoking and sexier if we had a title with more potential for
getting votes?
Yes of course it is an honourable name in an historical sense but is it not a bit dreary, rather
boring, a gift for the tories now?
Say to yourselves..."Labour Party"...yes/no? does it fill you with excitement, inspiration,
does it make you feel sexy?...thought not!
Does it put voters off do you think? Yes we prefer voters to cast their votes on policies but
don't we have to take care of the peripheries, the marketing aspects...image and
subliminal messages to voters, the media monster is watching us!
How about some glamour, some art and architecture, some poetry...maybe some sexual
innuendo into the title...porn would be taking it too far though!
Cast out Labour Party to the archives, be updated, uplifted...get rid of brylcream and use
mega gel.
Here are a few possible titles...any suggestions from anyone else welcome?
PARAGON PARTY LIBRA PARTY
WILSONIAN PARTY SPENDTHRIFT PARTY (oops)
TORCHBEARERS PARTY (strikes?) TRANSWORLD PARTY (international image)
ALL MERRY, HAPPY AND BRIGHT PARTY (???)
FARGAZE PARTY CAMELOT PARTY
EXCELSIOR PARTY (seal of New York state)
LEFT OF THE MOON PARTY (for the lunatic fringe)
FAR BEYOND AND PONDER PARTY ASKMENOW PARTY

Re: THE CONSERVATORY PARTY
Really, what's this post, by a person with a sense of humour by pass,
TechnicalEmph...stop being a stick in the mud, it's light hearted, I've been a Labour voter most of my life, stop taking it too seriously! And you with a Basil Brush avatar!
No wonder you can't get new members to post, lighten up!

It is fine as a post, but it should sit in Daily Politics, where it will no doubt get comments.Big Sink wrote:Really, what's this post, by a person with a sense of humour by pass,

Well you might be right there Tech...but not conversant with navigating the site, due to
Infrequent posting, my mistake...please forgive me!

Should I delete this folks, or should I leave it here to go off? I'm not even sure if I wish to remove posting rights from this geezer, given that he's so odd.
PfY, Dan; thoughts? I'm happy to tidy up.

I'd say, move it to the Pub and we can keep it as a conversation pieceErnstRemarx wrote:Well, that was exciting whilst it lasted, I guess.Big Sink wrote:TechnicalEmphemera, bet you are a wow at a party!

Re: THE CONSERVATORY PARTY
Maybe it would be useful to have a heading on Daily Politics to explain that's what it is for ?
It can be difficult getting the jist of site protocol when you are a newbie and it would be a shame if Big Sink is put off forever. At least no one can blame me this time !

I may beg to differ, but you make a good point, they probably can't be blamed for not following a not immediately obvious convention.yahyah wrote:Maybe it would be useful to have a heading on Daily Politics to explain that's what it is for ?

I suggest it would be a good idea to put a sticky up in Daily Politics entitled how to join the conversation.
This should explain where you post in Daily Politics, when to use the Pub etc.
It might also be worth pointing out people dip in and out of the site so instant replies are not necessarily guaranteed and that sometimes information doesn't solicit comment but is still read and noted.
