The way forward in 2020


by New Worker correspondent
 
Members of the New Communist Party, Socialist Fight, Posadists in Britain and Second Wave Publications met last month at the Cock Tavern in Euston for an informal discussion about the 2019 election. The participants looked at the various factors behind Labour’s unexpectedly poor result, including possibly the most blatant and sustained state interference in any British general election (such as Integrity Initiative, the secret army propaganda unit), Labour’s election campaign and manifesto, particularly the lack of clarity and a clear lead on public ownership and taxation, and of course the Brexit factor. Widely differing views were exchanged, especially over Brexit and the EU, but the debate was held in a thoroughly comradely atmosphere. It was a useful exercise for all who took part as we prepare to take on the difficult challenges ahead in our political and trade union organisations.
