We need to stop and reverse all privatisation in the public sector all Best Value and PFI schemes, all attempts to privatise council houses. Not a penny should go to the scavengers who have benefited from privatisation. All services and housing should be run under the control of those who work, use or live in them. The Socialist Alliance is pledged to doing this along with the nationalisation of all private pension funds and the creation of a single state fund. Education Blair has promised promised to finish off comprehensive education if he gets a second term.
New Labour is already well on the way to imposing selection.
Through PFI and Education Action Zones it has started privatising state education. Through Performance Related Pay it is attacking the working conditions and union organisation of teachers. New Labour imposed tuition fees on students in higher education as well as imposing massive cuts in further education. The Socialist Alliance fights for a fully comprehensive secular education system, together with free higher education - by abolishing fees and loans and restoring student grants. The privatisation of rail has been a disaster, yet Labour refuses to do anything about it.
