After the May Elections: Farage, the far right and the strategy to stop them
The recent local elections reveal a deep fracturing of British politics and have huge ramifications. Whilst the Green vote was an opportunity to give Labour a kicking from the left, the big story is the Reform surge with Farage's far right party winning 1.453 seats and now in control - or the biggest party - in 24 councils.
This is a far right electoral threat on a scale never seen before in Britain. And it can give confidence to harder fascist projects, including Tommy Robinson and his street movement. So what is to be done?
What strategy do we need to grow the anti-racist movement and push back the far right threat? Come along and join in the discussion. All welcome. Hosted by Bristol Socialist Workers Party.
What to expect
An informal, friendly and welcoming atmosphere, in which a speaker will initially introduce the main topic before we break into smaller group discussion. Then we’ll come back together again for a wider discussion and questioning followed by a summing up. The second section of the meeting involves a more practical focus on current activities and campaigns. There will also be a bookstall and publicity for upcoming events.
