I'm sure I'm not the only one from outside Britain who hasn't got the 
faintest idea what you mean.

As I said I'd like to reserve judgement but ... I haven't ever seen 
Sheridan differ from the other ex-SML leaders on the second point (or 
what you're referring to by it - I think it's quite a caricature of 
their views). I have seen him recently contrast a "class struggle 
party" to a "gender obsessed group" or words to that effect. I'm sorry, 
along with your unconvincing denial that the party majority couldn't 
possibly get a majority at a conference, when I haven't seen any 
complaints about the democratic functioning of the SSP until a few 
weeks ago, it's just a bit hard to see the clear political basis for 
this split.
