SSP CONFERENCE POLICY

i)    Motion passed

The SSP agrees to contact socialists in England, Ireland and Wales to discuss a republican socialist strategy to counter current US and British plans to maintain imperial control over these islands on behalf of the global corporations. If the initial discussions prove fruitful then the SSP should, if possible, organise a conference in 2008 to bring together socialists from across the UK and Ireland.
