Not for the first time, the Socialist Workers Party has issued a call for debate around the idea of uniting the various Socialist activists, groups and Parties in Ireland.

EXTRACT: "The Socialist Workers Party and the Socialist Party are the two major radical socialist parties in Ireland. Along with a number of smaller groups and non-aligned individuals they have played the leading role in mobilising people in the anti war movement, anti capitalist protests, the campaigns against the bin tax and in support of striking workers. However, on their own, neither the SWP, SP nor any of the smaller socialist organisations can offer a viable alternative at a national level. But as part of a united socialist bloc the SWP, SP and others could create a credible pole of attraction for people looking for a genuinely radical left alternative."
