May 2021 elections
Socialist Party in the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC)
Election meetings
In date order; scroll to bottom for post-election meetings
In May 2021 the Socialist Party will be standing candidates in council elections across England, and for the Bristol and Liverpool mayors, and for some seats in the Greater London Assembly and Welsh parliament.
We are standing as part of the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC), demanding that the government provides the necessary funding for local authorities to end all austerity and to reverse all cuts to services and jobs.
Join us in a meeting to discuss how mass campaigns can be built to secure this funding – and how candidates offering a socialist alternative can be supported.
