CPGB resolution on the Respect Unity Coalition

As agreed at December aggregate

1. This aggregate agrees to critically engage with the Unity Coalition. Consequently CPGB members should apply for membership of this coalition.

2. This aggregate notes the political impasse and decline of the Socialist Alliance caused by the misleadership of the SWP. The opportunity to unite the genuine forces of socialism has been disorganised for the time being. Nonetheless, we shall fight for the unity of socialist forces through the SA within the Unity Coalition.

3. The CPGB will affiliate as an organisation to the coalition.

4. While recognising that there are many stages we must go through to achieve our aims, CPGB members will continue to argue within it for the immediate necessity of a Communist Party dedicated to the revolutionary overthrow of capitalism.
