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".

The state of 'the left' housing estate has slid into appalling disrepair. Below is an report on the main buildings:
I like fresh air, but 'the left' of which I have always felt a part, has been a filthy, unkempt and smelly place for way too long. It needs a good clear out and a total refit. The electrics are dangerous (half the lights won't switch on); the ceiling is almost falling in, and you can't see out most of the windows because the so called 'anarchists' have broken them and they are just boarded up. The decor is incredibly old fashioned and the furniture is so worn out you wonder if it is safe to sit on, and there is blood on the carpets. I went in the toilets - what a state! There's more blood all over the walls and the most stupid graffiti (except for one good Banksy). And then, when I suggested doing a bit of cleaning up, and renovation work, half the people there at the time (which was not many) said I have gone 'right wing' - how dare they! That really annoyed me - after all they are the real conservatives.
The left is dead, long live the left.
