Fiona Lali’s election campaign in Stratford & Bow shows that revolutionary ideas can connect with wide layers of people.
As well as winning close to two thousand votes on an openly communist programme, the RCP has met hundreds of radical workers and young people who are searching for an alternative to this dead-end system.
But should communists always run in elections? Aren’t there dangers associated with holding parliamentary positions? How can we avoid the fate of the reformist parties, who dilute their programme for electoral gains?
In this episode, we sit down with leading RCP member Daniel Morley to discuss elections, parliaments, and broader questions around communist methods and tactics.
We recommend reading Daniel’s article ‘Communists and elections: Parliament, positions, and the party‘ alongside this podcast.
