Socialist Alliance amendments by 21 February

Submitted by AWL on 9 February, 2003 - 12:47

The motions booklet for the Socialist Alliance conference on 15 March has just been mailed out. It looks like the main issues for the conference will be the “new party” question; modes of election for the Alliance Executive; and Iraq.

On the “new party”, there are submissions for the Alliance to initiate a broad campaign for a new workers’ party, or alternatively to make itself “a new socialist party”, as well as more cautious proposals.

On Executive elections, the conference will chose between the existing slate system (with or without added minority guarantees), STV, First Past The Post, and election-by-regions.

On Iraq, there is agreement to campaign against the US war drive, but disagreement on whether also to oppose Saddam and Islamic fundamentalism.

The deadline for amendments – from individual Socialist Alliance members, or from local Alliance branches – is 21 February.
