[Individual-members-EL] EL Individual Members

[Stephen Spence]

Dear Comrades,

 

I have not seen any discussion between individual members on this list for
many months.

 

In the UK individual members still do not have any status within EL despite
asking Helmut Scholz on several occasions to ask the Executive Board to
grant observer status to our network.  The network here has now taken down
its website and its blog as the lack of status within EL has resulted in
very little activity from the members we do have.  So far we have built the
network up twice only to see it dwindle again.

 

The majority of the UK Left remains anti-EU as demonstrated by an electoral
platform 'No to EU, Yes to Democracy' being run in the European Elections by
the RMT union, Communist Party of Britain and the Socialist Party of England
and Wales, which I certainly do not support.  I am not part of the
anti-Europe left.

 

Those of us who support EU solidarity within the Left do not have a UK party
and the EL appears to have little interest in us.  I think all of us are
considering what future we have with the EL.

 

In solidarity

 

Stephen Spence
