Parties of the People [Pt. 1]
From Labour’s historically low approval ratings to the rise of Reform UK and the Greens’ explosive growth, the seismic shifts in British politics today are indicative of people’s desire for real change. Yet, in order to address the root causes of their worsening material conditions, progressive social forces must unite in a left party that is rooted in the myriad struggles of the exploited and oppressed. In part one of this six-part series on Parties of the People, we provide a theoretical introduction to the functions, activities, and structure of a mass left party. For more on this topic, check out our brief 'The Eco-Socialist Party.'
