Skip to main content. Airports study misses the point. July / August 2015. The run-up to the international climate talks in Paris coincides with the period in which the government will make its decision on new airport capacity. The commission was asked to report, conveniently, a month after the 2015 general election. At the time of writing, its report is expected in late June or early July. Big business largely favours Heathrow but a second runway at Gatwick would be more politically deliverable: the loc...

Skip to main content. EU referendum: Should we stay or should we go? July / August 2015. As the debate over European Union membership heats up, Joseph Choonara argues that socialists should argue for a left wing No vote, despite the right wing dominating the campaign for a "Brexit". The Yes campaign, to retain Britain’s EU membership, will be dominated by the Conservative and Labour leaderships, along with what’s left of the Liberal Democrats. Meanwhile, the tone of the No campaign is likely to be set by...

Skip to main content. Strategies to defend our unions. July / August 2015. The Tories' election victory has provoked moves towards 'doing politics differently'. Shaun Doherty stresses how workers' confidence to fight back lies in industrial struggle. The principal effect of any more draconian legislation is political rather than judicial deterring unions from even contemplating action, with the courts acting as a back-up if strikes are actually called.

The A to B of activism | Socialist Review
http://socialistreview.org.uk/404/b-activism
Skip to main content. The A to B of activism. July / August 2015. An argument has developed on the left regarding the effectiveness of so-called A to B marches . A critique, articulated by some activists on the left, argues that the cycle of annual anti-austerity demonstrations has failed, and counterposes more radical actions, such as occupations, direct action and community organising. Why has this developed? It is clearly justified to question this strategy demonstrations on their own will not beat au...
