Reluctantly, I decided not to attend the strategy meeting. I offered to 
make a presentation on a new strategic approach - that of learning how 
to win elections and preparing to do so. My offer was firmly rejected. 
(Synopsis of presentation here <http://cagreens.pbwiki.com/march-tools>)

I think the meeting's agenda focuses on goals far beyond the Party's 
ability to achieve at present. With Green campaigns scoring fewer votes 
than ever and our registration falling, this agenda seems like a 
deliberate look away from important questions and looming problems.

Since I can't say "here's another way", I'd be left saying "please don't 
do this." That would make me very frustrated and would probably annoy 
others. So I'm planning not to go.
