CEC Elections: Endorsements

The endorsement period for the CEC election in Your Party has now started. In the South East please endorse our Bolshevik Caucus candidate Barbara Duke.

We also recommend in the South East endorsing Max Shanly of Grassroots Left and in other regions and the public office holder section please endorse the candidates who have signed up to the Grassroots Left platform (grassrootsleft.org).

We have some criticism of the Grassroots Left programme, which is a compromise document, inadequate in several respects (see Barbara’s letter to the Weekly Worker today). But unlike many others, the Grassroots Left platform stresses the need for agency to the branches, no exclusions, for the defence of the oppressed, including trans rights, opposition to state repression and calls to “bring an end to capitalism”.

Too much time has been wasted already. We hope the incoming CEC will empower the membership and the branches to take action and discuss the wide range of different ideas contained within Your Party. We look forward to debate with the comrades of Grassroots Left, among many others.
