Eddy Butler and his proposed leadership challenge

There is something a little shocking and disturbing about the nastiness of the blog attacking Eddy Butler - http://eddybutlerexposed.blogspot.com/ which is also linked to this blog, in case anyone's interested.

I do not believe anyone can win under the current leadership rules anyway - not even if the clone of the current incumbent decided to contest the leadership himself.  Such unpleasant remarks about another long-serving member of the party is therefore as unsubtle as using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. 

It would have been nice to clear the air with an EGM about the constitution - widely felt to be a dictator's charter, but apparently, it is not to be, and this is the reason why Eddy felt he had no alternative but to challenge the leadership.

It is not a comfortable read for anyone within the party or thinking of joining the party or, in my case anyway, someone who has just joined the party.

My position remains that the constitution should be more democratic under the same leadership.  If activists  are getting upset, and feeling unappreciated or disgruntled, then kinder methods ought to be used in the way of attempting to allay their concerns, rather than giving the message in no uncertain terms that "if you cross us you are as good as dead in nationalist politics". 

But I guess I am just a soft-headed, soft-hearted rather naive woman who has just joined a party and is a little dismayed at how BNP activists treat other other.  I suppose it is a little too much to expect them to all kiss and make-up, stop washing dirty linen in public and resolve this thing amicably like gentlemen?
