Socialist Green Unity Coalition
The Socialist Green Unity Coalition is an electoral alliance formed by leftist parties and political organizations in Great Britain to contest English and Welsh seats in the 2005 parliamentary election.
The largest single component is the Socialist Party, which will contest elections under the heading of the SGUC in Bootle , Brighton Kemptown , Bristol North West , Cardiff South and Penarth , Coventry North East , Coventry South , Leicester West , Lewisham Deptford, Newcastle East and Wallsend , Sheffield Heeley, Stoke-on-Trent Central , Swansea West, Wakefield , Walthamstow , Wythenshawe and Sale East .
Other participating organizations include the Alliance for Green Socialism, Alliance for Workers Liberty, Socialist Alliance Democracy Platform , and the Socialist Unity Network. Many of these organizations were in the Socialist Alliance before it was dissolved in February 2005.
All organizations will campaign on a common platform including calls for an end to privatization, for an extention of the welfare state to end poverty, and for full employment.
It is likely that the Socialist Green Unity Coalition will compete with Respect Unity Coalition and the Green Party in some constituencies.
