Advance notice: Left Unity national conference, 15-16 November

Around 500 delegates are expected for the national conference of new left wing political party Left Unity on the weekend of November 15-16.

It will vote on policies on education, the environment, international issues, justice, social security, housing, election tactics and more.

Salman Shaheen, one of Left Unity’s principal speakers, said: “In the traditional parties, members hear about new policies in the leader’s speech. But that’s not what we believe in – we do politics differently.

“The weekend will see all our policy on a wide range of issues made democratically by members voting. And the result will be the kind of popular, radical policies that Labour Party leaders shy away from.

“It will be a party conference like no other and a springboard as we prepare to put up our first parliamentary candidates in 2015.”

Saturday 15 Nov – 11am–5pm.
