Comments on: Ros Scott writes … Party President’s report to members, January ’10 http://www.libdemvoice.org/ros-scott-writes-party-presidents-report-to-members-january-10-17798.html Our place to talk - an independent website for supporters of the Liberal Democrat party in the UK.

Large chunks of the party work without any reference to or involvement with Cowley Street, with attempts to get involved with the "main party" being ignored. It's a little disheartening to read Ros' reports which talk about more centralisation of unattributable power in the Chief Officer's Group as a result of the undemocratic Bones stitch-up, when there are party bodies with thousands of pounds to spend and dozens of activists who can't get any dialogue going about how best to target those resources for the good of the party! It seems to me that Ros has comprehensively failed on her self-imposed remit to act as an interface between the membership and Cowley Street.
