Colin Fox was today elected to the convenorship of the Scottish Socialist Party at our annual conference in Perth.

The results of the elections were Colin Fox 252 votes (62%), Alan McCombes 154 votes (38%).

Alan and Colin both took to the stage following the announcement in a show of friendship and unity. To a standing ovation from the conference Lothians MSP Colin pledged to continue the party's implacable opposition to war and poverty and to bring that message to the general election and to the protests at the G8 summit later this year.
