	Socialist Alliance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Socialist Alliance was a left-wing electoral alliance in England in existence between 1992 and 2005.
		The Welsh Socialist Alliance was closely allied to the SA but had separate origins.
		The Socialist Alliance was been riven by feuds, mostly concerning the behaviour of the Socialist Workers Party, which was by far the largest group participating in the Alliance, and which many felt dominated it.

	Werriwa by-election Socialist Alliance promotes Australian Greens as "a progressive alternative"
		Socialist Alliance claimed that, by ending political disputes between the member groups and adopting a minimal “anti-capitalist” program, it could attract people who were disgruntled with Labor’s open embrace of free market policies.
		Socialist Alliance’s candidates won a small percentage of the votes in the electorates where they stood, a result that was clearly depressing for an organisation preoccupied with numbers and votes.
		The Socialist Equality Party’s interventions in the federal elections last October and the current Werriwa by-election have proceeded from an entirely opposed conception: that the central task is to establish the political independence of the working class from all the old parties and programs.

	Socialist Alliance, Plus Five (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Five months down the track, with the Socialist Alliance holding its first national conference and its first election campaigns, it is opportune to take stock of the initial concerns: (i) the sectarian behaviour of the far left, (ii) their lack of electoral success and (iii) their political ineffectiveness.
		The Alliance was outpolled by informal votes by a ratio of 12 to 1, came twelfth out of fifteen and had a best booth result of a mere 1.1 percent (i.e., 13 votes out of 1195).
		Whilst some members of Socialist Alliance would rather that the organisation not have anything to do with parliamentary democracy they are reminded that this is an advanced form of democracy and it does them no credit to claim superiority to it without majority support.

	Is the Socialist Alliance a step forward?
		Socialists work to safeguard the environment as part of a broader programme, but to imagine that environmentalism is automatically progressive ignores the fundamental class basis of capitalist society and all the oppression that goes with it.
		The Socialist Alliances were initiated by the Socialist Party on the basis of a similar programme, but after this set off a process in Scotland which culminated in the effective loss of their entire Scottish membership, they are understandably a little wary of developments in England and Wales and have less involvement.
		The only useful functions we can imagine for a ‘socialist alliance’ would be to act either simply as a co-ordinating body for united front actions involving different groups and individuals, or as a venue for the necessary process of political debate and discussion leading towards a programmatically-based political realignment of the left.

	Scottish Socialist Alliance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Scottish Socialist Alliance (SSA) was a coalition of left-wing bodies in Scotland which existed from 1996 to 1998, and was the forerunner of the Scottish Socialist Party.
		The forces who went on to form the SSA had talks with Scargill where they said that they were prepared to join his party if he accepted some degree of Scottish autonomy, when he refused they formed the SSA.
		The first election it fought was the Toryglen by-election for Glasgow City Council in late 1996, with Rosie Kane as the candidate, where it won a respectable 18% vote.

	Frontline 9 - The Socialist Alliance - where next? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		The Socialist Workers Party's (SWP) John Rees has recently claimed that the SA is beginning to achieve results comparable to the SSP, citing the 13% share of the vote achieved by Paul Foot in the Hackney Mayoral campaign.
		David Landau, a Jewish Socialist Group member, from Islington SA has drafted a policy that deals with the issues in a thorough and clear way, and proposes a genuine united front approach as opposed to pretending that the united front is the ANL.
		An Alliance that sees itself as being there primarily to "offer a home" to disillusioned Labour supporters, as the SWP have posed it, will not be able to take advantage of the opportunities that are opening up in the unions, the anti-war movement and the anti-capitalist movement.

	Socialist Alliance
		But perhaps the greatest threat to Labour is that the Socialist Alliance publicly expresses what so many people feel--that there is a left alternative to the market, and that it is possible for such policies to be popular.
		For many socialists and working class people this coming election will be different--not simply for the fact that the level of support for the Tories is so low that the likelihood of William Hague winning is virtually nil.
		That means building the Socialist Alliance after the election as well, with a national structure and a broad campaigning platform which can contest future elections but which, even more importantly, can begin to build opposition round a range of issues from housing sell offs to attacks on asylum seekers.

		At the Socialist Alliance conference on 10 May 2003 the majority adopted a perspective of "relaunching the Socialist Alliance as part of a coalition of broader left wing forces" (as Socialist Worker put it).
		Everyone in the Alliance is in favour of reaching out broadly, especially now when there is some revival of assertiveness in the trade unions, and when large numbers of people have been politicised or re-politicised by the anti-war movement.
		We resolve to argue inside the Socialist Alliance against any bloc with the CPB for the Euro-elections, and in favour of a bloc with forces such as Lutte Ouvriere and the LCR in France, and Rifondazione Comunista in Italy.

		The conference marks a significant step forward in the development of the Alliance and presents a tremendous opportunity for regroupment and growth of the socialist movement in Australia.
		The statement reflects a deep desire and widespread view among non-affiliate members of the Alliance that it is only through forming a democratic and united broad socialist party that the struggle against capitalism can grow and ultimately be successful.
		It will also be a broad socialist party, appealing to all those looking for an electoral and party alternative to Labor, a socialist alternative to the Greens, and for activists and supporters in the union and broad anti-capitalist movement who wish to build a collective alternative future.

		Unfortunately, a proposal to set up a DSA on a national basis was defeated at a “Socialist Unity” conference on the 12th of March, organised by the Socialist Alliance Democracy Platform (SADP), despite the fact that the Socialist Alliance had been dissolved by the SWP and a small number of allies a month earlier.

	Debate in the Socialist Alliance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		The second approach is a passive propagandist one, that sees elections as an exercise in gaining support for socialist principles in the abstract, separated from sustained, practical engagement with the struggles or issues in the local area.
		Alliance members have driven out the Nazis, run campaigns against factory closures and public sector staffing cuts, organised the local peace group, led the union in local workplaces, convinced the council to make Moreland a “Hanson-free zone”, organised against the sexist Blackshirts, and much more.
		This does not preclude “building roots in the local community”, but the alliance’s substantive goal is to affect the balance of class forces in favour of the oppressed, and to put SA forward persuasively as a serious alternative in the process.
