You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Socialist Equality Party''' is a [[Trotskyist]] political party in Britain. It is one of several [[Socialist Equality Party (disambiguation)|Socialist Equality Parties]] affiliated with the [[International Committee of the Fourth International]].  The ICFI publishes daily news articles, perspectives and commentaries on the [[World Socialist Web Site]].

==History==
The party's origins lie in the [[Workers Revolutionary Party (UK)|Workers Revolutionary Party]] (WRP) until the majority of that party split from the ICFI in 1986. A group in the WRP supported the ICFI and left the WRP.  Initially known as the Workers Revolutionary Party (Internationalist), they soon became the '''International Communist Party''', based in [[Sheffield]] and led by David Hyland.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.wsws.org/en/topics/obituaryCategory/Hyland|title=David Edward Hyland: 1947-2013|date=10 December 2013 ))</ref> The group stood in several elections before renaming themselves the Socialist Equality Party in 1996, in line with other sections of the international organisation.<ref>Peter Barberis et al, ''Encyclopedia of British and Irish Political Organizations'', p.162</ref><ref>((cite news|last=Clement|first=Barrie|title=Socialists' new party strikes a left hook at Scargill|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/socialists-new-party-strikes-a-left-hook-at-scargill-1354171.html|work=The Independent|access-date=20 April 2013|location=London|date=25 November 1996))</ref> Hyland died in 2013.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2013/12/20/dave-d20.html|title=Further condolences on the death of Dave Hyland|date=20 December 2013 ))</ref> The current national secretary is Chris Marsden with Tom Scripps as Assistant National Secretary.<ref name=":0">((Cite web |title=International Youth and Students for Social Equality holds anti-war meetings in the UK |url=https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/04/09/zoip-a09.html |access-date=2023-04-12 |website=World Socialist Web Site |date=9 April 2023 |language=en))</ref>

==Programme==

The party's [[manifesto]] claims the necessity for the development of a new and genuinely [[socialist movement]] against a [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] government. It calls for the unity of workers throughout Britain and internationally.

The manifesto states: "The fight against war is bound up with the struggle to put an end to the capitalist profit system by reorganizing economic life to meet the social interests of the vast majority of the world's population rather than the selfish interests of a parasitic elite."<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.wsws.org/articles/2007/mar2007/mani-m27.shtml|title=Election manifesto of the Socialist Equality Party of Britain|date=27 March 2007 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130416112007/http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2007/03/mani-m27.html|archive-date=16 April 2013|access-date=16 April 2012|url-status=live))</ref>
