[IMC-bristol] re: Green Party Article

Hmmm....

I don't think this article should remain hidden. I'm not in a political 
party, and have no intention of doing so, so I don't have a party I want 
promoting too, but I think we need to recognise that elections are news, 
and we can't pretend like they aren't.

The issue of whether the newswire is being monopolised should be the 
main marker, I feel, & to be honest, BSTW is at times more along that 
line of acceptability than anyone else (except we advertise everyone's 
events, which tends to rebalance that imbalance).

Everyone should have a shot, in my opinion, but that doesn't mean that 
we should become a Partly Political hoarding. I think that Party 
political notices should be hidden initially, but we should then assess 
whether it's a news story too, & if it it is, which it is, they should 
be unhidden.
