After six weeks of door-knocking, rallies, and marches, the RCP has succeeded in broadcasting a communist programme across Stratford & Bow. With the results in and counted, we sat down with Fiona Lali to discuss the many lessons of this campaign.
Having dominated Scottish politics for the past decade, the SNP suffered a painful defeat in the recent Westminster elections. None of the major parties offers a way forward for workers and youth. Join the RCP and help build the forces of communism.
From the outset, it is clear who this Labour government is intending to represent: Britain’s bosses and bankers. Starmer and Reeves are puppets for big business. But their economic agenda will set them on a collision course with the working class.
The RCP was only founded two months ago. Yet already, we have stood a candidate, Fiona Lali, in a general election. Gaining nearly two thousand votes for a real communist candidate is testimony to what our party can achieve.
The Tories have suffered a devastating defeat, allowing Starmer into Number 10 with a massive majority. But this new Labour government will be one of intense crises. Workers and youth must prepare for battle. Join the RCP!
The success of Fiona Lali’s election campaign demonstrates the widespread impact that revolutionary ideas can have, if raised boldly and skillfully. But it also raises questions about communist methods and tactics – an art that Marxists must master.
Billionaire-backed Manchester City are taking the Premier League to court in a bid to protect their profits. Top clubs have become mere investment schemes for the super-rich. To return football to its roots, we need to kick profit out of the game.
After 14 years of Tory rule in Westminster, and an even longer period of SNP domination in Holyrood, the class struggle in Scotland is set to intensify. Help build the forces of communism north of the border. Join the RCP today!
In an effort to outflank the Tories and whip up xenophobia, Starmer is threatening to continue the government’s deportation policies and anti-migrant attacks. This is only adding to the anger against Labour. We say: the real enemy is in Westminster!
In their campaigning, Starmer’s Labour are promoting themselves as being both “pro-worker” and “pro-business”. And unfortunately, many union leaders buy into this nonsense. Instead, the movement must militantly struggle for clear class demands.
Junior doctors in England will return to the picket lines again tomorrow, continuing their long-running struggle over pay. Starmer’s Labour will not save the NHS. Only militant action and socialist policies can win for health workers and patients.
With the Tories hated and Starmer’s Labour mistrusted, many on the left are considering voting for the Green Party in this election. But the Greens’ own programme and record are dubious. Workers and youth should fight for a communist alternative.
