inadequacy of reformism should he revolutionary alternative. The IMG approach, which obscures important political issues in the interests of spurious unity between radical groups, cannot advance the independent bashing in his letter (Socalist Challenge 29), These are the reasons David gives for the SWP's genuine disinterest in Socialiss Unity; 1. SU lacks commitment to working class politics'. It is too intellectual. 2. IMG controls Socialist Chullenge. 3. Fourth International controls IMG (Eriest Mandel controls be FI). 4. Red Mole "failed", therefore so will SU. 5. Independents will core off worst. 6. The concept of "revolutionary' unity in struggle and that of unicy clections are mutually antagonistic 1. SWP's journals are Better than IMG's or Big Flame's. 3. Dentable 4 Moshe 3 Undeniable. based on a hypothesis. 5. Incorrect.

IN HIS reply to Dave Widgery, Chris. Roseblade says, We are merely saving that a fusion between the IMG and the SWP could marginalise the real sectarians' Leaving aside che issue of just wão comrade Reseblade presumes he is speaking for aben he cati he bote that in the last lew months the SiP has: set up an Anti-Naz League from which the CP and the far left were explickly excluded, brought in big name candidates in hy-clections in an alterapt to get more sotcs than other far left caodidates; refused to even reply to appeals for joint far left election candidates le has aha refused to discuss the standing of commen far-lett candidates in union clections; doclared in the name of its front Rank and File Vlovement" a peneral strike; persistently •censored from its newspaper criticisins ofthese policies, and soon and sc on.
Could comrade Roseblade then tell us that If it i hot the SWP, are the "real sectarians'?
