The General Political
Fund - not affiliated to any political party - is used
for general campaigning, for example the long campaign for a Scottish
Parliament. The branch can access these funds when it needs to
run campaigns concerning political decisions.
The major campaigns it has funded recently include:
-
a MORI poll which showed that the general public overwhelmingly
(83 per cent - 91% in Scotland) rejects the idea of bringing
private companies into our public services. This formed the
basis of our cinema and newspaper ad campaign - Remember 83!
-
Campaigns against council housing sell-offs
-
Anti-racist festivals
-
The Durham Miners gala
-
Local campaigns against the Private Finance Initiative
