The SSP's leaders have attempted to get the SWP to 'dissolve' into the SSP, and abandon selling their paper, Socialist Worker. However, at the SSP National Committee meeting in Edinburgh held on Sunday 27 August, Alan McCombes, editor of the Voice, announced that the SWP had agreed that there be only one 'public' paper. And they have lined up some of the SSP independents behind their moves, using the threat of the SWP to press ahead. A Dundee branch amendment to delete this set of proposals was defeated. The real villains of the piece here are the 'CWI' group.
Democracy is fine as long as all the decisions are going their way.
