THE Communist Party of Britain has unveiled its election strategy to challenge the country’s dire economic and political crisis.
Southern England district secretary Nick Wright told the executive committee at the weekend that the interests of the working-class majority were almost completely excluded from parliamentary and public life.
Recent public opinion polls (see today’s front page) confirmed that most people favour public ownership of services.
Opposition to privatisation of schools and the NHS is almost universal, Mr Wright said.
He outlined a “modest but vital” role for Britain’s communists in the unfolding election campaign.
The party’s candidates in Birmingham Hodge Hill, Croydon North, Devon North, Glasgow North West, Merthyr Tydfil & Rhymney, Newcastle East, Plymouth Sutton & Devonport, Sheffield Central and Torfaen will be presenting the “stark truth” that Britain’s economic and political crisis is inherently capitalist.
As head of the party’s publicity team, Mr Wright revealed that the Communist election campaign would include giant billboards in all contested constituencies, featuring Tax the Rich! as their main slogan.
The Communist Party leadership reiterated its call for the defeat and removal of the Tory-led coalition, which it argued would mean having to vote for Labour candidates in most seats — especially marginal ones.
