Untitled[edit]

There seems to be a sight for the CNWP and the Campaign for a new workers' party which are virtually identical. How do we merge the two? 00:21, 25 May 2006 82.32.184.23

Is the campaign now dead?[edit]

Recent events at for example the Socialist Party school seems to point in the direction that SP is abandoning it, anybody know about this? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Marxistviking (talk • contribs) 17:00, 23 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

-Socialist Party are definately not abandoning it. As the recent 250-strong meeting in Liverpool with Tony Mulhearn (Socialist Party), Tomy Sheridan (Solidarity- Scotland's socialist movement) and TV's Ricky Tomlinson shows.08:13, 13 April 2007 82.46.236.76

SP, or SWGB?[edit]

Dave Nellist's article seems to suggest this campaign is a Socialist Party of Great Britain movement, but this article names the Socialist Party, and as it goes, the Socialist Labour Party, and Socialist Workers Party are also named. Which groups are involved, so Wiki points to the correct parties in each case? doktorb _words^deeds 16:46, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

-It is the Socialist Party of England and Wales, not the SPGB. Other groups involved are Workers Power and the remains of the Socialist Alliance. There are also some very minor communist groups who come along to some meetings.08:13, 13 April 2007 82.46.236.76

The CFNWP is primarily a socialist party front. Worker's Power even split over the issue when some of its members were expelled for saying this. It has no real support but the SP, despite being tiny, are good bureacrats and do well in the Unions. Thats why it has so many Union signatories.

The above may be true but the Socialist Party practice 'democratic centralism' ie not democratic at all and it is pledged that the putative new will be transparent, accountable and democratic.SmokeyTheCat 10:33, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is a matter of accuracy rather than debate really. The Socialist Party held a rally for the CNWP at Socialism 2008 so clearly have not abandoned the idea. The rally was attended by representatives of Respect as well as the Socialist Party and trade unionists. The intention is to get the trade unions which are currently disaffiliated from the Labour Party to seek political representation. These include the Rail Union RMT, The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) and the Public Services union PCS. Terryteacher (talk) 12:28, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
