    Yeah I can understand why independence is appealing as a way to escape the clutches of Westminster/Tories. I’d obviously support Scotland whatever they decide to do in another independence referendum but I’m sceptical that it scottish independence will be a progressive thing. I’m in favour of a federal, socialist Britian as that would make it easier to fight off imperialist forces rather than seperate states.

    thanks for replying! i have a few Qs if you don’t mind me asking:

    1. I’ve seen some transphobia from certain parts of the CPB before such as one of the YCL branches promoting transphobic material as well as the Morning Star publishing an honestly pretty vile transphobic cartoon. What have you noticed is the general vibe when it comes to trans and LGBTQ issues in the CPB?

    2. What work does the party tend to engage in? I’ve heard that it encourages getting organised in trade unions but does it also do community organising and base building?

    3. Post-Corbyn, what is the CPB’s relationship going to be to the Labour Party? Is it still the case that the Party thinks it is best to try and get a Left Labour government elected? As someone who has just left Labour, I want the next party I join to have a much more hostile and antagonistic relationship with it as after being in it for 4 years, I don’t believe the Labour Left will ever be able to form a government and the rest of Labour are absolute bastards.

    4. And finally, how do you find the atmosphere among your comrades?

    Sorry for the long post!
