Party News from the October 1993 issue of the Socialist Standard
Do you want to support us in our biggest campaign yet?
Our plans for the June 1994 Euro-election are now well underway. We will be putting up genuine Socialist candidates in four seats: Birmingham East, Glasgow, London Central and Lothians. These constituencies are nearly ten times the size of the Westminster ones, so in our campaign we will effectively be contesting the equivalent of 37 parliamentary seats.
This will mean that over two million electors will have a first time ever chance to vote for the case for Socialism.
In return for the £4,000 deposit which we will pay, the Post Office will distribute our Socialist Manifesto to one million households. This will be the widest single circulation of socialist ideas in our history. Our aim will not be to win votes from people who do not agree with us, but to encourage the largest number of recipients of the manifesto to contact us, support us consciously and then join us.
We have already raised £9,000 of the £20,000 we estimate the campaign will cost. So we still need more money so that we can print the manifestoes and carry out all of the exciting preparatory and follow-up work for the campaign. If ever there was a good time to make a donation to our funds it is now. Please send your contributions to Election Fund, The Socialist Party, 52 Clapham High Street, London SW4 7UN (and please make cheques payable to "The Socialist Party of Great Britain"). If you would like to contribute a regular payment by standing order from your bank till June next year, write to us for a form.
