The Socialist Party has a long and proud record of struggling to defend working-class people. We are involved in hundreds of campaigns.
We are part of the Stop the War Coalition and campaign against the war and occupation of Iraq.
We contest elections across England and Wales (read our manifesto) and have twenty-five members elected onto the major trade union national executives (updated June 2006).
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, and later defeated Tory Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's poll tax 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.
We now are the only genuinely socialist organisation in England and Wales to have several elected councillors - currently three in Coventry, two in Lewisham in London, one in Stoke and one in Huddersfield.
