Our aims in the 2015 general election:
- To show that republican socialism exists as a distinct political idea (i.e. with different programme, strategy and slogans to Labourism).
- To show that republican socialism is prepared to come out and fight openly for our ideas in a general election.
- To show that republican socialism cannot fight elections effectively without a party organisation. We aim to promote the need for a republican socialist party.
- To stand at least three candidates, one each for England, Scotland and Wales.
- To promote republican socialist democratic slogans - “Close Westminster Down”, “For Democratic Revolution” and “Another England is Possible”.
- To promote a social republic through the slogan of a “Commonwealth of England”.
- To promote militant “Anti Unionism” in England as a progressive democratic and revolutionary slogan.
- To strengthen links with the Scottish left (e.g. RIC) and position ourselves in relation to the Scottish Left Project.
- To highlight the limitations of ‘trade union socialism’ (i.e. economism and Labourism) as represented in TUSC-Left Unity.
- To promote the republican flag as an alternative to the flag of St George.
