What we are about

Promoting health and well-being through the application of socialist principles

We stand for:

  • Universal Healthcare meeting patients’ needs, free at the point of use, funded by taxation.
  • Democracy based on freedom of information, election not selection and local decision making.
  • Equality based on equality of opportunity, affirmative action, and progressive taxation.
