Authors

Abstract

Colin Beardon’s succinct and sympathetic review of the new draft “British Road to Socialism" provides an important initiative for consideration o f a vital aspect of theory. The British party is, small, by comparison with the French and Italian, and commands a following in the workers’ movement, and electorally, comparable to that of the CPA. The “British Road” is eurocommunism flying the Union Jack, an apposite metaphor since the party used that symbol as part o f its “ people’s campaign” against the Common Market.
