The Independent Working Class Association (IWCA) were set up largely by lefties disillusioned with the Left which they considered (quite rightly in my opinion) had abandoned the working class, once its key constituency. I recommend this interview with their candidate for London Mayor Lorna Reid, which looks at some of their central policies and considers the organisation's relationship to the more traditional Left. While I remain dubious about the efficacy, and indeed wisdom, of engaging in electoral politics, much of what she has to say seems common sense and merits extensive consideration.
