As the Socialist Alliance (England) is wrecked (by the SWP, oh yes), where now for its other constituent parts and non-SWP members? Here, a view from Workers' Liberty, one of the groupings which founded the Socialist Alliance, long before the SWP decided to get involved. The leaflet argues that any "new SA grouping" cannot be built on "anti-SWP negativism" but only on positive politics and fair, transparent and acceptable methods of operating.
Comrades in the Alliance for Workers' Liberty have helped set up a political platform to promote ideas about political representation.

Glad to hear it, I assume thats why only 95% of your leaflet is attacking the Swuppies.
I have always though if you groups are so great and the SWP so terrible, why are they 100 times bigger than you?

eh?

you must have read a different leaflet.
and even if "95%" of it was "attacking the swuppies", then that *might* have something to do with the SWP trampling all over the rules, constitution etc. of the alliance causing it to be on the verge of total collapse.- it isn't the fault of anyone else.
and on your other comment re an "unrepresentative majority" and "democracy"; then i'd wonder if it was so democratic to pack an AGM with 30 people who admitted a) having no idea of what the alliance was about; b) what the jobs are about for which they were candidating; c) knew exactly who to vote for in the AGM en masse without any discussion or introduction, voting all for the same people; d) and the vast majority of whom had signed up to the alliance in the previous 7 days, most of which had joined 2 days before the AGM.
as a component organistion of the alliance, why hadn't all these SWPers and their mates been members of the SA beforehand anyway?
(if the SWP has 10,000 members like it says it has, why has the SA only got a couple of thousand. just a thought)

As for them organising beforehand, imagine, political organisations getting together and deciding who to vote for, there is no way you would ever do that is there!
