Statement of Accounts of the Scottish Socialist Party at 31st December 2019 Treasurer’s Statement SSP Accounts 2019 2019 will be remembered as the year that saw a general election victory for the Tories which saw them go from a position of a hung parliament to a parliamentary majority of 80 with the Tories winning seats in traditional working class areas that previously would never have considered voting Tory, confirming Johnstone as the Tory PM with the largest majority in living memory. A Tory government which has become the norm in politics in Scotland. No matter how the working class majority in Scotland vote, there will always be a Unionist majority in Westminster. The Scottish Socialist Party have continued to campaign on our central policy of an independent socialist Scotland being our cornerstone policy which highlights that the only path for real democratic change is an independent Scotland that can challenge Scotland’s democratic deficit. Scottish independence will be democratically won by the Scottish people campaigning in our local communities, on issues that affect the daily life of working class Scotland. The SSP continues to fight austerity and campaigns for workers rights, the end of zero hour contracts and ‘£10 per hour now minimum wage’ as part of our continuing campaign for an independent socialist Scotland.
