Thoughts on the programme of the new workers party the ULA is launching

The process of discussion and debate around the creation of a new workers' party has begun with the announcement by the ULA that it will shortly be calling public meetings and setting up local branches to discuss how to go forward towards that goal.

The linked document below is a contribution to that process of discussion and debate. It takes as its starting point the belief that the new party should have socialism as an open and explicit aim. Taking that as a premise it then outlines what I believe to be the key points that would need to be part of a programme to concretely bring about the socialist transformation of society.

This is obviously far from a finished programme so any comments and suggestions would be appreciated.
