<p>The real problem is the dogma from the isms and skims. </p>
<p>We need a coalition of progressives that will fight for the people in the constituency and not the party they stand for. But I guess to find a candiate with enough carisma to beat the shoe-in lacquey from labour will be quite hard.</p>

<p>Jenny is a Socialist and an active trade unionist. The Green Party has some good policies but lacks a clear understanding of the causes of inequality and deprivation in our society. The recession was not caused by capitalism being "broken" but by it working normally. It will be good to have a socialist voice in this election.

But Phil Foxe is right that it is time for a <strong>party</strong> to the left of the Labour. Left Unity is such a new party, formed only last year but already with thousands of members. </p>
<p>Left Unity is not standing in Tottenham as it is early for us and we have focussed on campaigning directly against issues like the Labour Council's plans to demolish council estates.

But we did approach both the Greens and Jenny Sutton's campaign to se if there could be one, joint, broad left candidacy in Tottenham (leaving the Greens a clear field in Hornsey & Wood Green). Unfortunately that didn't happen. </p>
<p>So I would say support Jenny Sutton for Tottenham as a socialist candidate in 2015, but build Left Unity for a consistent socialist environmentalist feminist (and democratic member led) party in Haringey. </p> What's your position on the G…tag:harringayonline.com,2014-12-11:844301:Comment:7086852014-12-11T08:13:30.021ZPhiliphttps://harringayonline.com/profile/PhilipFoxe
What's your position on the Green Party? They are also opposed to War, austerity,privatisation etc. Further, they are a political party unlike TUSC which is not. Aren't you just going to split the Left vote ?
