The Scottish Socialist Party contested the 2009 European election with our Make Greed Historycampaign.

A ten per cent ‘greed tax’ on the super-rich would raise £26 billion to create jobs - without a single penny cut from public spending.

There must be an alternative

Bill Newman, a retired City of London banker, witnessed the greed and corruption of the capitalist system at first hand. He explains why the greed must be made history…

An appeal to Glasgow parents, carers and communities - vote SSP on June 4th

"As a parent and lifelong socialist, I passionately believe decent education should be a right, not a privilege to be bought by those who can afford it.
