It is now nearly certain that the General Election will be held on 9 April. At present Labour and Conservatives are neck and neck in the polls and there is a real chance that Labour will win. This election presents a challenge to our young and small organisation in South Wales. A failure to work around it and to be seen to actively support the Labour Party will cause us real problems in the future. On the other hand it gives us an opportunity to reach activists and ordinary workers in a way that has not been possible in recent times. If carried out correctly our work can contribute in a small way to preparing the ground for a new left in Wales of which we will be a part.
