Comments
  • The Socialist Party strongly supports greater female participation of women and gender non-conforming people in politics and civic life in general, particularly women workers, trade unionists, LGBTQ+ rights activists, community activists and youth campaigners who will genuinely represent the interests of the majority of women and working-class people of all genders. We believe this needs to be linked to a movement against all forms of sexism and misogyny and for free public childcare, a reduction of the working week without loss of pay, living wages and high quality social housing for all.
