Working-class people need a party to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. We stand as a growing alternative to the evils of capitalism and imperialism. The Socialist Party has a long and proud record of struggling to defend the rights of the majority. We are involved in hundreds of campaigns, fighting back against cuts, closures and lies.

We contest elections across England and Wales and have twenty-five members elected onto the major trade union national executives.

 

In Coventry we currently have two elected councillors, Dave Nellist & Rob Windsor, who represent the St Michaels ward on the city council.

Two decades ago, we were called the Militant Tendency and campaigned in the Labour Party for socialist policies.

We led Liverpool City council's battle for decent housing, jobs and services in 1983-87, and later defeated Tory Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's poll tax (1989-1991) which forced her to resign.

We now campaign for a new mass party that can draw together workers, environmental and community campaigners, anti-capitalist, anti-war and other protesters to represent and fight for the interests of ordinary people.

Between 1983 and 1992 our three socialist MPs - Dave Nellist, Terry Fields and Pat Wall - lived on the average wage of the workers they were representing. They never forgot their working class roots, or the problems of those workers that elected them - unlike many political and trade union leaders who live on inflated salaries today.

We support workers in industrial disputes, fight against tuition fees, privatisation, for better pay, to stop council house sell-offs and for free education. We campaign to stop the destruction and pollution of our planet and its environment. We fight for a socialist world free of war and terror.
