Interesting theory.  Are you a member?

I have my own views on what the LP could do differently, of course, but 
wouldn't agree that the main obstacle to success of the Labor Party is a 
failure to "confront the reality of the empire," whatever that might involve. 

 Plenty of parties seem to do that full-time, without the glorious success 
you or I might expect.
