Leaked: damning internal email trail from inside the WikiLeaks Party

• hannibal5 13y ago
  What's so damning here? It's typical stuff that happens in political or voluntary organizations. JA is far away and don't know the people well enough nor does he have experience. He tries to take control and people give feedback. There is reason why these discussion are not public. You want a channel where disagreements and internal issues can be sorted out.

    I think it shows an internal party struggle. People in the Wiki Leaks Party disagree with the way it is being run -- basically a vote of no confidence for JA. Not damning, just embarrassing for the WLP.

      Yes, very embarrassing for a democratic party to have internal disagreement. How dare they! If members of party are upset of how it is being run, then I think it is a good sign that they do not simply elect someone as party executive and start to agree with him/her beyond questioning. What I think is embarrassing, is doing the opposite. Electing someone internally, and then being afraid to speak up because it could damage the reputation of the party. As a matter of fact, this is the status quo I know from leading political parties in Germany. A counterexample is the Pirate Party.
