Full disclosure: I’m a member of the Co-op

Posted on May 17 2012

I try to make sure I make appropriate disclosure of my conflicts of interest.

So I should make disclosure of the fact I've joined the Co-operative movement.

It's long overdue. I've banked with them for a decade, but I thought I'd mention it - to encourage others to do join as well.

Do you mean the Co-op Party or do you just have a Co-op card? I’m not sure what member of co-op movement means.

Well done and quite right! A rich mix and higher density of associative, mutual, cooperative,healthy democratic enterprises alongside trade unions is likely to substantiate the emergence of a “courageous” state. The reform and empowerment of local government and not the bogus mayor system which gives nearly the power to one person without checks and balance, is also desirable. Small business might also benefit.
