Statement to voters

Capitalism, the system of society we live in, can only be run in the interest of capitalists, the so-called 1 percent, who invest money for profit.

Full statement

Despite the politicians’ promises, it can never be made to work for us, the working class, whose income mainly comes from working for a wage or salary.

Capitalism is a profit-making system that can only work for the few who own not the many who work.

That’s why people’s needs are never met properly and why there are always problems over health care, housing, schools and public services. The politicians blame each other but profits coming before needs is not something any government can change. The Tories weren’t the problem. It was capitalism.

The Socialist Party says society can only be run in the interests of all when the majority working class comes together to bring the wealth of the world into common ownership. To do this, we need to organise politically, to transform the basis of our society, from ownership by the few and production for profit to common ownership by all and production to meet people’s needs.

If you agree with this, and want to let others know you agree, vote for BILL MARTIN the socialist candidate in the up-coming Junction Ward by-election.
