Name: Towards a New Socialist Party
Start: 2025-09-09T18:30:00+01:00
Location: PRSC

Corbyn & Sultana's announcement of a new political party has shaken British politics, but everything about the party is up in the air. How will it be organised? Who will lead it? Will it be a purely parliamentary party, or can we aim for something more?
In this event we'll discuss one proposal for how to build a radically democratic party, led by its members - Max Shanly's article "Towards a New Model Left Party" https://medium.com/@maxshanly/towards-a-new-model-left-party-5947dc71b727
We encourage everyone to read the article, or at least the closing section where he lays out his concrete proposals.
Event format: After a short introduction, we will discuss the article in small groups, with time to feed back to the whole room afterwards.

Bristol Transformed runs an annual festival of politics, arts and culture in April, and events every Tuesday evening throughout the rest of the year. See all our events here: https://hdfst.uk/bristol-transformed
We are a grassroots, volunteer-run, socialist education group. Bringing together activists, trade unionists, and everyone who wants to learn, we’re creating the space to discuss the most important issues facing us, equipping us with the skills and knowledge to transform Bristol and the world.
Bristol Transformed is run by dozens of local people. Without new people coming in every year, we wouldn't be able to maintain the same standard of political education events that you enjoy. If you'd be interested in joining us, sign up as a BT volunteer today and we'll be in touch! https://cloud.seatable.io/dtable/forms/d3a761c9-4c79-4b10-b38e-50bbad501bcc/
