Alliance For Green Socialism




The Alliance for Green Socialism (AGS) is a Socialist grouping based in Leeds in the United Kingdom . It was formed in 2003 following a merger between the Leeds Left Alliance (formed by Liz and Mike Davies, and other former members of the Labour Party ) and the Green Socialist Network (whose origins lie in the Communist Party Of Great Britain ). Both these groups had been in the former Socialist Alliance and the AGS remained involved in it too until it was dissolved in February 2005.

The AGS stood candidates in its own name in the Yorkshire And Humber constituency in the 2004 European Election , coming last with only 0.9% of the votes cast. It later became active in the Socialist Alliance Democracy Platform and contested the 2005 UK General Election as part of the Socialist Green Unity Coalition , standing candidates in Yorkshire and Brighton. In November 2005 it joined the re-formed Socialist Alliance .
