Crucial to this will be the need for us to promote and link up with struggles which de break out against the Labour government, whether strikes or campaigns, such as in defence of the welfare state. The MPs have to be challenged to do the same. If keeping quiet served a purpose, It was in order that they can use parliament as a tribune to rally eppesition to Blair's programme. This an, especially as has such a commanding majority, that they are expelled from the Party. However, they cannot allow this consideration to dominate what they do. Their first consideration has to be what furthers the struggles and Interests of the working class and oppressed. If Blair moves against them, their best defence is if they have linked up with trade unionists and Party members in bullding the Left.
