It operates through a local branch structure and publishes Scotland's longest-running socialist newspaper, the ''Scottish Socialist Voice''. At the height of its electoral success, the party had six Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) and two councillors. The party, which has more than 30 branches, was founded in 1998 and campaigns for Scottish independence, against cuts to public services and welfare, and for democratic public ownership of the economy. In recent years, it has peacefully protested against the austerity programme of the UK government by calling for the abolition of the bedroom tax〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SSP Councillor Jim Bollan leads Bedroom tax revolt )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Anas Sarwar targeted in Glasgow protest )〕 and immediate action to mitigate fuel poverty.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=New SSP Pamphlet on Fuel Poverty )〕 The Scottish Socialist Party was one of three parties in Yes Scotland,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Yes Scotland )〕 the cross-party campaign for Scottish independence in the 2014 referendum, and the party's national co-spokesperson Colin Fox sat on the campaign's Advisory Board. == Democratic structures == At present, the Scottish Socialist Party is a members-led organisation with no formal leadership. The party has two national co-spokespersons, Colin Fox and Sandra Webster, who are elected by party members at the annual national conference, which also determines party policy.

The primary decision-making bodies are the: * National Conference, convening yearly * National Council, convening four times a year * Executive Committee, convening regularly 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scottish Socialist Party」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
