TUSC are a 'broad coalition', who according to this press release are supported by the Socialist Workers Party: This is something randomly pulled up from the Internet about the Socialist Workers Party which is no doubt written by the 'right wing oppressors' to undermine the comrades:

The socialist party has always really been a separate organisation stemming from Militant within the Labour Party.

Yes, the world has known no hatred like the wrath of different Trotskyite sects to each other!

You have misunderstood me or maybe I didn't express myself well. I know what Trotsky believed in (and agree it wasn't a constant)and would certainly have supported Trotsky v Stalin in the 1920's/30's. I can't think of a better credo either. As to whether Trotskyism or something else represents the essence of socialist principles...I wasn't going anywhere near that hot potato. I was commenting (following the previous poster pointing out that the OP had got his "Trotskyist" groups mixed up) that (as is true and as I think many who have mixed in such circles at one time or another have seen) that Trotskyism has been characterised by groupings being obsessed by minor ideological differences with other similar groups and often becoming embroiled in venomous and silly internecine squabbles as to who was the true inheritor/standard bearer of the pure "faith"(anyone remember the SWP,IMG and WRP back in the day?). I was supporting the poster's point that it would be wrong and naïve to say that the Socialist Party and the SWP are the same entity... Edited by legaleagle (17 Jul 2014 9.26am)

If you read the Socialist Party bulletin, it makes reference to SWP being a partner in TUSC.
