GLW #537 reported on a motion passed at the May 10-11 Socialist Alliance national conference. Regrettably, the final section of the motion was omitted. This is the full motion as passed:
"Conference endorses these eight points:
"1. We want the Alliance to become a single, multi-tendency socialist party.
"2. We want to progress this move right now, starting with this conference.
"3. A commitment from affiliates to building the Socialist Alliance through increasing integration needs to be demonstrated, in word and in deed.
"4. Our multi-tendency socialist party should be as broad as possible.
"5. We accept and welcome a strong revolutionary socialist stream as an integral part of our vision of a broad Socialist party.
"6. We need strong democratic structures to accommodate diversity.
"7. We need a common socialist voice: in our platform, in a national paper, and in our campaigns.
"9. We welcome other individuals and groups who support our broad aims and objectives.
"9. The Alliance recognises the organisational and programmatic integrity of its affiliate organisations and welcomes their continued existence as tendencies within the Alliance."
