Arthur Scargill - General Secretary
Introduction & Manifesto Index
The Socialist Labour Party is a natural home for Socialists and for the millions throughout Britain who today feel disenfranchised or dispossessed, and whose lives are blighted by helplessness, hopelessness and despair.
The birth of the Socialist Labour Party produced howls of protest from across the political spectrum, including both our traditional class enemies and those in the Labour movement who claim to be supporters of Socialism, despite the fact that New Labour supports privatisation, the free market' and capitalism.
The protest came from anger and frustration which was and is an inevitable reaction of a defining moment in British politics. There is nothing more painful than the birth of a new idea, and the Socialist Labour Party has been no exception to this rule.
However, our principles and policies are firmly rooted in the Socialist values of our forebears who fought to build a better world. Our Party was founded by people who fought consistently to save jobs, protect industries and services form butchery, save communities threatened with everything from unemployment to racism to toxic waste, and secure justice for all.
I urge everyone to support the policies of the Socialist Labour Party which are outlined in this Manifesto. I ask all those who agree with our policies to join our Party - and help build the only force capable of bringing about a fundamental change in our society.
