Members of the Scottish Socialist Party will elect their new national convenor at the party's national conference in Perth on February 12-13. There are two candidates for the post, Colin Fox, and Alan McCombes. Colin Fox has been active in socialist politics for 25 years and was elected to the Scottish parliament for the Lothians in May 2003. Alan McCombes has been a socialist activist since the 1970s, was founding editor of the SSP's weekly paper, the Scottish Socialist Voice, and co-ordinator of the SSP's highly successful election campaign in 2003.
