If you are able to help out with setting up the room, stalls, stewarding, registration desk, etc. please come along at 12.00. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Abetter world is possible and together we can build it.

The May NC was a turning point for the Scottish Socialist Party. Delegates reflected the view of the majority of members in their support for Tommy Sheridan and their rejection of the Executives position. Hence the name " SSPMajority" blog and web site
The SSP members’ open letter was circulated to give members the opportunity to show their solidarity and support for Tommy in his forthcoming battle against the News of the World. Comrades were angered that reports in the press by unknown party spokespersons continued to give the impression that the party was not behind him. The letter also rejected the views of the new so called United Left ‘anti Sheridan’ platform that emerged after the May NC.
The signatures to the open letter reflect the diversities within our party. From Stornoway to the borders, from Dundee to Dunoon, from comrades who are members of platforms and no platforms. United in our solidarity and support for comrade Sheridan and of our aim to build the SSP.
The October conference will provide us with the opportunity to make changes to ‘our’ party. The aim of this Blog it to allow members who signed the open letter to share and to assist us in planning for our parties future.
WELCOME
Hi Comrades.
Welcome to our SSPMajority Blog at last.
My aim in creating this Blog is to bring us all together (you are not alone) and we as socialist can unite to take the SSP forward. We need to take back control of our party and I believe our solidarity will win through.
In the run up to the October conference I hope this Blog will become very helpful in allowing members (the grass roots) to put forward suggestions and ideas. This is our party and we will take it back.
Comrades are welcome to post comments in the Contributions Category. We would ask that contributions are made in the spirit of the SSP Members Open Letter. We will monitor the postings to ensure they are respectful.
In solidarity.
Steve George
