The Socialist Party of Great Britain has announced plans to contest ten constituencies at the General Election -- including Swansea West.
The election on Thursday, May 7th, will see the party take on its largest campaign since it first stood a candidate in the 1945 vote.
"The Socialist Party offers the only alternative to the profit system," said prospective candidate Brian Johnson who has been selected to contest Swansea West. "We stand for the common ownership and democratic control of the resources of the world. Production just for use where goods and services are provided to meet people's needs, not for sale on a market or for profit."
The party will also stand candidates in constituencies including Oxford East and West, Canterbury, Folkestone and Hythe and Brighton Pavilion.

Nothing Marxist about Labour
SORRY Mr Brown (January 13) but you go too far.
You state: “Yet we face the same Marxist, ideological driven agendas under Ed Miliband”.
However, you ignore the important fact that Ed Miliband is not a Marxist, nor is his brother, nor was his father Ralph.
Moreover, Labour has never advocated, much less instituted, any policy or legislation, that even the most rabid right wing supporter of capitalism (or left wing supporter for that matter) could in any way link to Marx.
Marx advocated a classless, stateless, exchangeless world society, where the statement “‘From’ each according to ability, ‘to’ each according to need” was the driver and moreover, that this societal change could only come about, when the majority understood it, wanted it and, most importantly, cooperated to bring it about.
Nothing, I repeat, nothing in the writings of Marx advocated anything that could in any way be linked to Labour.
Those who continue to claim otherwise can charitably be called confused or mischievous, more seriously, deliberate political wreckers and liars.
