A couple of months ago I also resigned from the Workers Party. I ran the Economics Forum, but despite writing long documents on the modern heterodox economics we need if we are to finance the rebuilding of the British economy, the Political Committee opted to stick with a traditional Marxist approach. Fair enough, different strokes, no hard feelings. I support @DerbyChrisW's stance regarding his recent resignation. It's straightforward tactical voting to beat the horrendous, terminally compromised Labour Party with a view to forging some degree of unity around the crucial issue of domestic economic policy. Like Chris, I disagree with the Greens' position on a number of issues, especially NATO, but it's the only party with the courage to support the public investment strategies we need to reboot the British economy. I have no intention of joining, but I would like to see a more strategic, unifying approach amongst the broad left. This link leftcheatsheet.co.uk/ shows the British left's current situation - split into no less than 78 factional parties and movements. Each one is fixated on its own purist dogma, mostly hammered out in the back room of the local boozer. Completely useless. If the broad left can't find common ground on the crucial issue of domestic economic policy we are finished for the foreseeable future. A spent force. @winlow_s have outlined the history of our decline in the book The Death of the Left. Failure to bring the economy under democratic control will leave us prey to the extractive asset-stripping and fiscal discipline of global financiers. This will see whole regions sink into further decline and drift to the 'far right', perhaps even seeing through Reform's fake nationalism and demanding the real thing. We might even get a 'revolution', but quite probably not the one we want. This is the future we face if we fail to find unity on this crucial issue.
