Mike Rodney's article in the last issue of Socialist Action ('SWP: Outside, looking in...') was spot on.

The SWP may sound very 'revolutionary' but what is it concretely doing to remove the present leaders who dominate the movement?
Nothing The only way to lead a real struggle against them is by being in the Labour Party and fighting their pro-capitalist policies & undemocratic niallocuvics. The present debate is a first step in this direction which only the politically blind can ignore The SWP's stance outside the party will doom it to isolation & ensure that it shrinks into another of those sects littering the British left.

Dear Cde, Cde Frank Viney's call to priorities the stand against nuclear arms is certainly welltimed! This year's LP conference has seen over 80 resolutions tabled on this issue.
Most of them support the NEC campaign against Cruise Missiles and call for a firm assurance by a future Labour government to fold them up While opposing nuclear weapons, however, many link i: with trying to create a 'nuclear free zone" in Europe. What is Socialist Action's view on this? Would it mean subordinating unilateral disarmament until other countries were prepared to follow suit?
