Britain's Communists welcome the election of Barack Obama as US President as a victory for the mass popular movement for progressive change. 'It is a victory not only for a remarkable candidate, but for the growing forces for peace and social justice which supported him, including the trades unions and the US Communist Party', Communist Party general secretary Robert Griffiths declared. 'Together with Democratic Party gains in the US Congress, the election result will also provide a stronger voice for previously under-represented oppressed peoples and minorities', he added. 'What America and the world needs is for the anti-war, anti-monopoly and environmental character of Obama's winning alliance to predominate over big business interests in the coming struggle for political influence in the White House', Mr Griffiths concluded. |
