But first, our leaders
need to fight any idea that public policy should be shaped by the
personal credo of a minority. Forget dog-whistle politics. The siren
call of the dogmatists is the sound that we should fear most.

Right, so that’s Polly out of politics and social justice, Georgie Boy is no longer allowed to influence policy on the environment, Jonathan Porritt (he’s a CBE you know, terribly important man) is to shut up about sustainable development, Greenpeace is to stop running political campaigns, PETA is to be banned from talking to politicians, FOE can take a running jump, in short, anyone who has strong views on any subject is not to be listened to on that subject.

It also apears to mean that the 200,000 odd members of the Labour Party, including all their MPs and Ministers, should not influence public policy. I’m OK with that, good idea Mary.
