Maximum Member Democracy - Let’s Deliver It

1. For a Central Executive Committee dedicated to building a mass, democratic,
socialist, working-class party, rooted in independent community-based branch
organisations that can fight fascism and the far right. Our goal is to bring an end to
capitalism, a socially and ecologically destructive system driven by the profit motive
and private ownership of the means of production, and replace it with a socialist
society organised to meet people's needs, not generate profit.

2. For a Party that will empower members to create grassroots structures in
every town, city, region and nation providing data, finance and technical support to
get them established. Members and thus branches must be well funded, receiving at
least 50% of all membership fees, with autonomy over branch spending and political
activity. Elected branch committees will have access to full membership data for their
area. We must execute a mass recruitment drive to become a mass socialist party of
the left this country so desperately needs.

3. For a Party open to all who share our socialist goals - an equal, fair, just and
ecologically sustainable society organised around the needs of the majority, not for
the profit of the few; key sections of the economy owned and democratically
controlled by the people who work in them and depend upon them; rapid and just
decarbonisation to tackle the climate crisis and meet all human needs within
planetary limits; a society in which everyone, regardless of race, faith, ethnicity, family
background, gender, sexual orientation or disability, can lead healthy lives of dignity
and fulfilment.

4. For a clear programme of anti-imperialism, anti-Zionism and pro peace. We
oppose militarism and stand with the oppressed against the oppressors. We support
the Palestinian people and reject successive British governments’ collusion with
Israel. We support immediate withdrawal from NATO that only offers profits to the
merchants of death and makes the world less safe, when this money should be spent
on schools, hospitals and wider society.

5. For a Party that opposes the far-right and exposes every attempt by the ruling
class to divide and rule the working class against itself. We stand with all
communities and liberation for all people: Muslims, migrants, refugees, trans and
queer people, women, disabled people. We stand against all forms of oppression and
attacks on marginalised communities by political elites.

6. For defence of freedom of speech and freedom of expression; opposition to laws
restricting protest and trade union activity; opposition to state censorship and
surveillance; support for pro-Palestine political prisoners that are on hunger strike.
7. For a democratic party that will fight in the May 2026 elections but is not
defined by electoralism; all elected representatives and party officials to be
accountable to the membership, subject to mandatory re-selection and open to recall
at any time. We must support candidates that don’t vote for cuts but fight them.

8. For a Party that only participates in national government alone or in coalition
on the basis of a socialist programme actively supported by a majority of the
population. The Monarchy, House of Lords and first past the post voting system must
be abolished.

9. For a truly democratic socialist party a democracy commission and democratic
sovereign Conference will take place: Over the first six months after their election,
the CEC will appoint a Democracy Commission, to review the founding process and
suggest improvements to the party structures. The First Annual Conference will be
held within six months with structures to enable it to be sovereign over the Party's
future direction.

10. For a Member-led CEC: All Members of the CEC shall operate as political equals.
This slate commits to not permit any councillors or MPs to hold positions in the
elected Officers Group. The CEC will elect a Parliamentary Convenor to be the public
spokesperson and whip of the Parliamentary Group of MPs, intending to formalise
this role by amendment in the 2026 Conference. The CEC must commit to meet at
least monthly, to ensure the body remains able to provide effective political
leadership.

11. For Bottom-Up Organised Sections and rank and file movement that is the
engine of the Party. Grassroots members will be supported to build
oppression-based organised sections from the bottom-up. This includes facilitating a
youth and student conference to establish meaningfully democratic and autonomous
structures for a youth and student section and make constitutional recommendations
(e.g. youth place on the CEC) and appoint a Rank-and-File Workers’ Movement
Commission to develop the party’s relationship with the trade union movement. All
elected members of this slate will sit on an Advisory Committee with representatives
of all the grassroots factions supporting this platform. The committee will meet
monthly to hold elected members to account.

12. For a Party of the Whole Left: We stand for a party of the whole left with freedom
for members to organise into factions, tendencies and platforms. This means
opposing any ban on dual memberships or proscriptions against members based on
political views or affiliations.

13. For a Party that doesn’t see Scotland and Wales as afterthoughts but respects
their autonomy to self-organise: The CEC will rebuild broken relationships with
members in Wales and Scotland, giving them access to funding, data, and resources,
to enable them to choose how they want to engage in the 2026 Elections. They will
have sufficient resources and access to data to hold democratic conferences to
decide their local structures and level of autonomy from the party.

14. For an open and transparent party. Decisions of all party bodies, from local branch
to national executive, to be open to scrutiny by the members; for an independent
audit of Party finances; for a disciplinary process based on natural justice, with an
appeals procedure agreed by the membership.

15. For a Party that is led by its members not MPs and to deliver the next stage of
maximum member democracy.
