open letter to the SSP...(scottish socialist party)

Dear Mr Venton,
Having signed up on line & joined the SSP a few months ago, and having to date not received
any official mail via traditional mailing system, or indeed, emails regarding meetings & events
regarding political or social issues I may wish to attend or have an interest in, I would be grateful
if you would cancel my SSP membership as of today.

As a result of recent events over the past week in regard of communications with SSP members I feel
I am no longer able to feel confident in the conduct of some of its membership, in addition
 I feel that in the past 7days some of the people I have had communications with have at very least ,
 misled or misinformed me, and at worst, were deceitful  & with malicious intent.
As a result I feel unable to trust that the party is being conducted effectively and transparently.

Let there be no misunderstanding, that I have reached this decision after much reflection and consideration
regarding all issues involved.
I understand that these deceptions may have been regarded as humorous to those involved,
however, from my prospective the issues were of very serious content of interest to the public,
and I say that in regard of not just the issues I was communicating on but in regard to the information
regarding other Demos by the anti ATOS campaign, in which I myself have an interest as I am
in receipt ESA and have not only have had personal problems with ATOS but have a keen interest on
the discriminatory issues reflect by the policies and procedure  they use,  and would have considered
at very least raising awareness of the ATOS demo, which your members conveniently failed to notify me of,
 via my personal contacts and  my social networking accounts and blog.

To be honest the trust issues that these events and behaviors of past week reflect apart,
these issues also represent in my opinion, poor communication and administration on the part of the SSP,
As a organized political party I believe communications & organization of administrative duties is of paramount
 importance for both promoting and mobilizing events and raising not just membership but awareness of party
policy and goals as a socialist movement.

Strangely enough these are areas in which I could, I suggest, have been an asset to the party in organizing events and promotions as I have considerable experience in these areas as well as a degree in health and social welfare.

If it has been judged by the membership that I was not a valued member as I don't contribute by attending meetings & therefore it is not of relevance to keep me informed as a member, of all events, meetings and demos in the event I may or may not attend, again, reflects poorly because as I have already mentioned, my reasons for not having attended meeting to date, is as result of personal health & financial issues , however that should not deflect from the positive contributions I 
could have become involved with and quite possibly have been a asset to the party, by using my personal creative talents & academic skills to help promote and raise awareness of the party policies and events.

Anyway, this is now immaterial,
as an independent thinker and individual of socail conciseness I no longer feel confident
or am able to trust fully the intent of some SSP party members at this time, and as a result request the intimidate cancellation of my membership.

I wish you well with future projects and endeavors in the name of socialism, which I shall continue to follow with interest as a non party member.
yours sincerely
june mackendrick

ps
i shall be posting this email on my blog as an open letter in the interest of transparency as i do not wish to mislead people
in regard of my political affiliations.
