People walking down Clapham High Street will now see a notice on the board outside our office at No 52 there saying:
THE GENERAL ELECTION
The Socialist Party is standing a candidate in this constituency (Vauxhall).
Our aim is to put across the need for a society of common ownership, democratic control and production solely for use as the alternative to the existing profit system, a society where we collectively make the decisions that affect us without needing to worry about how to pay for what we want, since meeting our needs will be the one and only priority.
The Socialist Party cannot bring this about for you, and we're not promising to. If you want to get rid of capitalism this is something you will have to do yourselves, without leaders. We make no promises, offer no pat solutions, only to be the means by which you can remake society for the common good.
Our candidate is Danny Lambert.
If you want more information on this campaign, or want to help, this is our campaign office. Ring the bell or phone 0207 622 3811 or email spgb@worldsocialism.org. Our website is: www.worldsocialism.org/spgb.
NEITHER LEADERS NOR FOLLOWERS. NEITHER THE MARKET NOR THE STATE.

As Eugene Debs the one time presidential candidate of the Socialist Party of America once said
I am not a leader. I don't want you to follow me or anything else. If you are looking for a Moses to lead you out of the wilderness, you will stay right where you are. I would not lead you into this promised land if I could, because if I could lead you in, someone else could lead you out.
