The Socialist Party advocates for systemic change to address the crises and inequalities perpetuated by capitalism. With a focus on organizing the working class, the party promotes the establishment of a socialist society where resources and power are democratically managed by the people rather than concentrated among the wealthy elite.

Core Beliefs and Manifesto:

The party views capitalism as a failing system plagued by crises and inherently exploitative, benefiting a small elite at the expense of the majority. Their manifesto calls for radical changes including the redistribution of wealth, democratic management of resources, and a transition to a society focused on human needs and environmental sustainability rather than profit.

Work, Pensions, and Benefits:

Implement a £15 minimum wage for all, linked to inflation or earnings. Introduce a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay and enhance employment rights.

End insecure employment and enforce rights from the first day on the job. Propose transparency in business finances to justify layoffs or wage disputes.

Public Services:

Expand public services like the NHS and reverse privatization. Nationalize essential services such as rail, water, and energy under workers' control.

Guarantee free, quality education and abolish tuition fees.

Environment:

Advocate for major investments in renewable energy and sustainable practices. Nationalize energy sectors to facilitate a transition to green energy without job losses.

Implement a comprehensive, publicly funded insulation and energy-efficiency plan.

Democratic Rights:

Support the repeal of anti-union laws and promote civil liberties. Encourage more inclusive democracy with recall rights for MPs and lower voting ages.

Support self-determination for nations within the UK and oppose oppressive media monopolies.

Internationalism and Socialism:

The Socialist Party is part of the Committee for a Workers' International, emphasizing the need for a global socialist movement. Opposes imperialism and wars, advocating for a peaceful, socialist reorganization of society.

Calls for the public ownership of major corporations and banks to manage them for public good rather than private profit.

Strategic Goals and Political Engagement:

The party aims to build strong, democratic trade unions and a new mass workers' party to challenge the existing capitalist framework. Engages in various campaigns and electoral politics, often through the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC), to promote socialist candidates and policies.

The Socialist Party seeks to address the deep-seated issues of inequality and injustice through comprehensive socialist reform, both nationally and internationally. They advocate for a radical overhaul of existing economic and political systems to achieve a society based on democratic socialism.
