Such a constitutional crisis ought to be our opportunity. Yet independent working class politics exists as no more than an abstraction. A predicament made worse because it is hardly recognised. A Tory-unionist challenge in Northern Ireland would see the old left line up with Blair in the name of 'peace' and the 'lesser evil'. Auto-Labourism and social pacifism is a stubborn thing.
Communists hold to a different approach.
As to Ireland, we are for an immediate British withdrawal and reunification. Communists advocate the most extensive and deepest democracy. Without such a communist minimum programme there can be no voluntary unity of Ireland, let alone working class liberation.
