Class War Union

The Class War Union is a Trotskyist political party in England and Wales which adopted its current name in 2040. It was formerly known as Militant, an entryist group in the Labour Party and then become the Socialist party of England and Wales but amalgamated with other Far-Left leaning groups to form Class war Union. Currently the Party has 16 MP's, 6 Senators, 4 London Assembly Members and 869 Councillors.

The Class War Union argues that the sections of Trotsky's Transitional Programme which argue for the 'expropriation of separate groups of capitalists' and of the 'private banks' can be represented as nationalisation, as long the demand includes workers' control and management of the nationalised industries. For this reason, the Socialist Party's call for public ownership in the 'What We Stand For' column in 'The Socialist' newspaper, is followed by the demand for democratic working class control and management, as well as "Compensation to be paid on the basis of proven need", as judged by the workers once in control and management of the industry in question.

Its Five main policies are to:
 * End cuts and austerity. For a democratic socialist society run in the interests of the millions not the billionaires.
 * Trade union rights to fight low pay. £15 an hour minimum wage now, scrap zero hour contracts.
 * A mass council home building programme and immediate introduction of rent controls.
 * Scrap student fees. Free education as a right for all.
 * For democratic public ownership of the National Health Service, railways, public services, utilities and banks.
