  Strange times when the word 'activist' comes to mean something like 'a person engaged in Machiavellian manoeuvres.' All parties have activists. You might even ask what the point in joining a political party is if you don't intend to do anything.
  
  As to whether the Marxists will have taken over the Labour Party by 2022, well KB, let's come back to this thread in five years' time. But I doubt it: with its roots in the trades unions, cooperative societies, and religious dissenters and nonconformists it's always been a reformist and never a revolutionary party.
  
  Oh, and perhaps the Bishop would be able to enlighten us on the liberation theologists and whether he believes that the 'preferential option for the poor' was, as the Catholic hierarchy asserted, just a little bit Marxist.
