As predicted in the above article 3 weeks ago, Sean Bedlam did have a go at the Wikileaks party from which he resigned alledging dodgy preference deals and cover-ups. So yeah, lots of Brownie points to Occupymelbourne.net for reading the signs. Occupymelbourne.net never endorsed the Wikileaks party because Occupymelbourne.net does not endorse party politics in general. If you get involved in party politics you will have to accept the dirty dealings that go on behind closed doors and roll with the punches, otherwise you won’t last. Obviously Sean worked it out in the end, although he should have known better to begin with, being an experienced activist. In the end, it appears, the Wikileaks party became the very thing it criticised : non-transperent, secretive and dishonest. It appears that everything that goes through politics with noble intentions comes out as shit at the other end. Or maybe the Wiklleaks party with it’s libertarian leanings had good reasons for preferencing the Greens a little lower than was palatable for some of it’s socialist-leaning activists?

In any case, in the second part of the above link Sean calls Julian Assange “a bit of a cunt”, so there!
