PCS members can nominate candidates for the national executive committee (NEC) at their branch annual general meeting. These meetings will take place during February and early March.

The Socialist Party supports the Democracy Alliance, which is standing a full slate in this election.

The alliance, which is comprised of PCS Left Unity and PCS Democrats, has won the NEC elections for the last 14 years.

During this time PCS has been seen as a union which stands up for its members, providing a democratically accountable and fighting leadership.

It has fought against austerity and the pay cap and put forward an alternative tax justice and welfare programme.

The Democracy Alliance slate (right) includes eight Socialist Party candidates.
