Wessex
Socialist Party |
||
The Wessex Socialist Party was formed on May 1st 2004 in Winchester to fight for the Wessex Autonomy and a Socialist Britain. Unlike New Labour and the tories, the WSP understands that: It is capitalism, not the complexon of governments, which is responsable for the economic and social devastation which results in; the destruction of basic and manufacturing industries, mass unemployment, homelessness, hopelessness, helplessness and despair. Only by dealing with the root cause - capitalism itself, can this devastation be stopped and a long-term alternative constructed. Tony Blair´s New Labour has ditched any pretence of being a Socialist party. They openly support the free market. They oppose re-nationalisation of the of the services and utilities privatised by the Tories. They wine and dine the same bosses who are responsible for the misery of British peoples and regions. They refuse to repeal the anti-trade union laws that make it so much more difficult for us to fight job cuts or improve our wages and conditions. They accept the evil of permanent mass unemployment. Locally, they refuse to fight central government budget capping and vote for cuts, year after year. New Labour has embraced capitalism and centralism at a time when its evils have never been more obvious - at a time when the need for Socialism has never been more urgent.

What the WSP wants We want a self-governed Wessex The British State, while recognizing the existence of national minorities on its territory, opposes the recognition of its English historic regions and their economic, social, cultural and political development. Just like the Scottish, Welsh, Cornish, Manx and Irish peoples, the Wessex people refuses its exploitation and extinction. It must secure a self-government status adapted to its own history, situation and territory, as well as to its economic capacity. Only a united Wessex, self-governing all over its territory will allow us to control the resources and future of our country and make it prosperous and lively. However, the Wessex we want must rely on the diversity of the counties that make it. These counties must be defined more democratically with a freely elected Regional Assembly, than the present absurd aristocratic and technocratic divisions have been.
