All Out to End the Rule of the Big Parties!
Support Candidates of the Alternative!

Call of the Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist)
April 5, 2005

With the announcement of the date of the General Election as May 5, 2005, RCPB(ML) is calling on the working class and people to take a stand on ending the drive to war and reaction which the establishment parties represent.

It is calling on the working class and people to look to the future and envision a different world in which the best representatives of the workers, the youth, the women, the pensioners, the national minority communities and the people as a whole are the legislators, representing the aspirations and ideals of the electorate, and accountable to them.

In particular, we make the following calls to the electorate for this election:

• Strike a blow against the warmongers. Support candidates of the alternative, particularly those standing on pro-worker and anti-war platforms.

• Reject the fraudulent "choice" between the three big parties who all ensure that the people have no say in the running of the country. Undermine and prevent the attempts to elect political parties to power as adjuncts of the state.

• Use the election to strike a blow against all the arrangements which are preventing the forward march of society in this 21st century, and bringing about a new society fit for human beings.

• Organise to constitute yourselves a bulwark against the darkest reaction that is being organised by the US, its ally Britain and the rich against the people.

• Use the election to further strengthen the movement to bring into being a pro-worker, pro-social and anti-war government.

• Working class, organise yourself as the Workers’ Opposition, the surest block to the development of war and fascism represented by New Labour’s "Third Way". In that agenda can be seen the replacement of the old social-democratic arrangements increasingly by the structures of a corporate fascist state.

Now is the time to reject the big parties. Now is the time to vote in such a way that brings closer the empowerment of the working class and people, so that the people can govern themselves and control their own lives.
