The main players in the Bin Tax Campaign in Dublin seem to be changing tactics. The question of what tactics to pursue in face of a state offensive has become the top priority of Bin Tax campaigners in the last week or two. In fact the Dublin City campaign has been wracked by intense debate during the last month or so. The line up until recently was something along these lines: Sinn Fein and the SWP arguing for a more cautious or conservative position which essentially boiled down to opposition to direct action in most circumstances, in favour of the demo’s/meetings formula beloved of the SWP. The logic of this argument seemed to be that the campaign would be won or lost in next years local elections, and that what was needed now was a strategic retreat so as to keep the issue on a slow burner. The SWP came in for a lot of criticism for claiming to represent areas where they had done no real work, that creating bogus campaigns with no mass base, and this seems to have been true in some cases such as Coolock and Ballyfermot though not others such as Ringsend. |
