Over 30 people attended a meeting on the Campaign for a New Workers' Party at the Exeter Community Centre last Thursday. Speaking at the event was Tony Mulhearn of the Liverpool 47, John Stone, Plymouth branch secretary of the TGWU (personal capacity) and Jim Lowe from the Exeter Save our NHS campaign.
After speeches, which included a wide ranging analysis from Tony on the nature and degeneration of the Labour Party and a reflection on the successes of the socialist Liverpool council and betrayals of the Labour Party leadership, there was a vigorous debate on the nature of the Labour Party, is a new workers' party needed, how can we campaign for one and what form it might take.
The meeting allowed us to launch the CNWP in Exeter and Devon, and gives us something on which to build.
