The 'Euston Manifesto' - essential reading

The Euston Manifesto is the foundation of an internationalist campaign to renew progressive politics.

The Manifesto has just been published in The New Statesman magazine. You can read the text of the document and add your name to it at the Euston Manifesto Website (link below).

"Today, (13Apr06), we - bloggers, academics, campaigners, writers, scientists, journalists, citizens - launch the Euston Manifesto. With this document we hope to publicly reassert our progressive, democratic, egalitarian, internationalist principles in the face of recent attacks upon them from the Right and, to our dismay, the Left".

"Many of us are of the Left, but we come from across the range of political positions. We are not founding a political party. We are not a "pro-war" grouping - our founders differed, for example, in their views on Western military intervention in Iraq. Our declaration is not definitive, final, or perfect; it is, we hope, the beginning of a renewed debate, grounded in a common set of progressive values".
