Is there any party you haven't joined?

I have given four years plus in each instance, and yes there are parties that I will never join. I have enjoyed the worthy campaigns and casework I have dedicated my time to and I remain the same person. Perhaps you could say a base is made for others to continue. Labour is more connecting where I live and has been in the 34 years I’ve lived here. Perhaps that’s where I should have been all along, consolidating, but I’ve enjoyed the journey. I know the strengths and frustrated by the weaknesses of each. I have ideas for where I live, I have experiences and incites not dissimilar from other residents. If this was the worst criticism to receive in sixteen years, I’ll accept exploring the band width of local activism, (this is what makes me unique.) I’m proud of the people I have worked with & I have known their kindness. I am pleased I have remained cordiale with colleagues across the board, I’ve always remained sincere. There is your personal philosophy and that of a political party, at least I can genuinely discuss this and understand unique differences, strength's & innovation. You can see my journey’s start here in HoL/ YouTube in 2010.  Let us support Harringay Labour’s candidates, open our doors and have that conversation & become part of the Labour Party we want and need.

Matthew, You probably know this quotation, but just in case: 
it seems to describe you ...

"... the most important office, and the one which all of us can and should fill, is that of private citizen."
 - Louis Brandeis, member of the United States Supreme Court  1916-39.
