The Campaign for a New workers� Party (CNWP), which was launched last year, is redoubling its efforts to form a new left party to fight for real socialism. Plans have been made to build on the 2,500 individuals who have already signed up as supporters, launch additional local branches of the CNWP, hold fringe meetings at all the major trade union conferences this year, and hold a second annual conference in May.
�These two meetings will demonstrate very clearly just why we urgently need a new left party� added Pete McLaren. �The establishment parties all represent the interests of big business, and all of them are prepared to give up hard won public services, including council housing. Working people no longer have political representation � we intend to change all that,� he concluded.
