I like the crazy nationalist Scots character. I think it adds a little flavour to proceedings.
Liberals.
This AAR is 6 days old and we are on page 60. There is the original post, then 2 election posts, 1 election result update and 1 proper update.
The rest; 60 votes in 60 posts, then now maybe 10 more vote posts.
That leaves us with around 1100 other more or less on topic posts, including the food fight of previous page.
seriously, this AAR is too fast for me, and too damn fast paced for many others.
Maybe some day the Communist party can progress toward Menshevism
Yeah... that's probably never going to happen. Tommy can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe the CPGB changed it's pro-Moscow alignment until Eurocommunism became really big in the 70's and 80's.

One seat in Huddersfield and Bolton, and many, many more in the West Country.
((Bolton it shall be, then!))
((Bolton it shall be, then! Partly because Huddersfield sounds a bit silly, I think ))

Ey up lad, welcome t' t' North!

You came to the right person for this question .
The CPGB remained firmly pro-Soviet until the 1968 invasion of Czechoslovakia - a moment when a large number of Communist parties really started to break away from Moscow.
As for 'Menshevism', I suppose it depends what you mean by that. As early as 1951 the party adopted a programme called the British Road to Socialism (actually drafted by Stalin himself) committing it to a parliamentary road to socialism, working with Labour and basically respecting parliamentary democracy. All the while remaining slavishly pro-Soviet and Stalinist.
I wouldn't have thought that you'd consider Bolton "north".
