On relevant considerations

Memo to Bob Hepburn:

If your goal is to discourage Canada's political parties from valuing internal democracy and member participation, then lumping them all together in a "pox on all their houses" column with no regard for actual differences in their internal structures is a great way to go about it.

But if you actually want to create some incentive for them to facilitate grassroots decision-making, it might help to make some note of the ones who actually do so even when their competitors don't dare.
