SSP Choose Fox As Leader, Reject Uncritical Support For Iraqi Rebeles

category international | miscellaneous | other press author Monday February 14, 2005 14:30author by pat c Report this post to the editors

The SSP have elected Colin Fox as their new leader and have rejected uncritical support for Iraqi Rebels. Instead, the SSP Conference, held in Perth gave a qualified expression of support to the popular resistence.

Fox elected as new leader of SSP

Colin Fox has been elected as the new national convener of the Scottish Socialist Party. Delegates at the party's annual conference in Perth voted by 252 to 154 in favour of the MSP for the Lothians.

Mr Fox, who was the first to declare his candidacy, defeated fellow contender Alan McCombes, the party's policy co-ordinator.

Mr Fox succeeds long standing convener and Glasgow MSP Tommy Sheridan, who resigned at the end of last year.

SSP rejects Iraqi rebels proposal

A move to commit the Scottish Socialist Party to giving unconditional public support to insurgents in Iraq has been thrown out by conference delegates. Instead, the Perth gathering gave a qualified expression of support to the popular resistence.

The decision came on Saturday after a passionate debate.
