Subject and Association Descriptionhttp://leftunity.org/about:
Left Unity is a radical left, ecosocialist political party, founded in 2013, because the main parties all supported the policies they call ‘austerity’: deep cuts in public spending designed to destroy the social and economic gains working people have made over many decades. We critically supported the Labour Party, under Jeremy Corbyn, in the hope that, in government, they might reverse this. However, with its change of leadership following the 2019 general election, the Labour Party is reverting to its previous positions. A political party championing radical policies in the interests of all our communities is vital. That is what we do.
With the coronavirus crisis and the economic catastrophe that comes with it, working people are not only paying the price with their lives and their health, they will also be made to pay the price unless we unite to say No. There can be no going back to the way things were before the crisis. We demand a new socially just and ecologically sustainable way of organising society and the economy.
We are still being forced to pay the costs of the 2008 economic crisis while the wealthiest 1% continue to rake in bonuses and fill their bank accounts in tax havens. The suffering of ordinary people over the last decade led to the vote to leave the European Union, as right-wing populists and disaster capitalists blamed immigration and EU rules for the hardship of working people.
Democracy is at our heart. We are committed to defending and expanding the welfare state, and defending all those worst affected by the pandemic crisis, the ensuing economic crash and climate catastrophe. We advance alternative social and economic policies based on supporting public services and redistributing wealth. At this time of many interlocking crises, our vision has never been more necessary.
