RDCT resolution

Agreed at the December aggregate of the Revolutionary Democratic Communist Tendency

This aggregate recognises that a new and more serious crisis has been developing in the SLP as a result of the cancellation of the SLP congress and the election of Royston Bull as vice-president.

We call on all sympathisers of the Tendency in the SLP to campaign, using the Weekly Worker and SLP Republicans, for a united front to fight for:

• Recall congress
• Continue to campaign to expose Bull’s ideas on gays and lesbians
• Support for a broad-based party, open to communists and ex-Labourites
• A republican programme
• Emphasis on democratic rank and file organisation in the trade unions and workplaces
• Support for party democracy and openness
• Joint work with other socialist organisations for agreed aims, including cooperation where possible in elections
• SLP members should join and encourage others in the SLP to join the Socialist Alliances
