Compass

We're building a coalition for a radical 21st century politics the country needs now. Winning our campaign to keep the post public, securing a £1 billion energy package from the state, getting the government to increase tax on top earners.

But we need help to make real change happen. Because our politicians seem more interested flipping their homes and bailing out bankers than in building the good society.

If you want to help us campaign for a new socialism for the many not for the few. If you want to help us build the ideas and the organisation for a progressive consensus, with a new generation of up and coming leaders, with local groups across the country, members donating £15k to fund a campaigns organiser, with over 30,000 members and supporters, then join up now!

The un-stated 'trick' of the Obama campaign was simple - he didn't patronise young people, he respected their intelligence. I'm concerned that Compass is spending its money on these groovy, trendy, randy videos putting across imprecise slogans for thoughts to a Justice Vs Simian soundtrack. Is simply not the way to do it.

I mean to be constructive.

As someone who is a fully paid up member of Compass, this video is actually making me consider whether to renew my subscription.

The type of discerning young person wanting to get involved in progressive politics will likely find 'Ideas + Action = Change' the exact sort of offputting and vacuous condescension that kept them out in the first place, and illustrative of the old, baby mobile politics that we all want to do away with.
