The next meeting of the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) all-Britain steering committee will be held on Wednesday May 17th.

Available in the following link (https://www.tusc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Draft-Results-Report.pdf) is a draft version of the report by the National Election Agent that will form the basis of the discussion at the committee of the TUSC performance in the English local elections that took place last Thursday, on May 4th.

This is a statistical report, continuing the series begun by TUSC in 2011, in the interests of transparency and an honest accounting of strengths and weaknesses, of publishing the detailed results of every candidate that appeared on the ballot paper under the coalition’s name. 

Political analysis of the campaign in its wider context will no doubt be produced by the component supporters of TUSC in the coming days and inform the discussion at the steering committee.  That is in the nature of TUSC as a coalition of different political forces united at bottom by their agreement to provide an umbrella for trade unionists, community campaigners and socialists of different organisations or none, to fight together at the ballot box against the establishment politicians. 

This report, however, is primarily a statistical digest of the campaign, on which a political analysis can be based.
