So a boycott campaign wouldn't be very successful. According to Wilson, PRD participation in the election was the best way to expose these shortcomings. The party also received government funds for printing and distributing its electoral programme. This is just one of the undemocratic laws we will be fighting to change. The PRD has grown rapidly since it was legalised.
Rapid growth brings many organisational problems.
Organising a centralised party in an archipelago, where the local dynamic can be very different from the national, is extremely difficult. Especially since politics move so fast at the moment. Some are willing to build a long term struggle, and realise that most of the current student committees lack leadership. We criticise that way of organising. And we are pleased to see that more and more students recognise the need for a party, for party-type struggle.
