The fact that steps are being taken to develop ‘Your Party’ will be very welcome news to the 800,000 who have already said they want to join. Against the background of brutal austerity from Starmer’s New Labour Mark II and electoral gains for Reform the need for a workers’ party with socialist policies could not be clearer. The Socialist Party will be joining ‘Your Party’ and fighting for it to become a mass anti-war and anti-cuts workers’ party.
To be successful, Your Party must base itself on the power of the mass trade union movement, and its power in the workplaces, where workers come together and prepare to take collective action in defence of their interests. Your Party must also have a socialist programme, opposing the capitalist system and the war and poverty inherent in it.
A new party that takes off will need to face up to the challenges of filling the vacuum with a concrete programme to oppose war and cuts, with candidates across the country in next May’s local elections. This will be an opportunity to harness the anger at Labour and the capitalist establishment, and cut across the growth of Reform UK. ‘Your Party’ could potentially win hundreds of councillors and even take control of councils. That in itself would be a huge boost to the confidence of millions. It would open up decisive battles to deliver real change via the significant powers local authorities have to deliver real change on jobs, housing, rent controls and restoring vital services.
