International Socialist Group (Scotland)
[citation needed] Notable figures within the ISG included Jonathon Shafi, co-founder of the Radical Independence Campaign,[4] and Cat Boyd.[5] In April 2011, 39 members of the Socialist Workers Party in Scotland, including Central Committee member Chris Bambery, the majority of the elected Scottish leadership, and the circulation officer for Socialist Worker, resigned from the SWP, stating that the party had no credible strategy to fight the government's cuts agenda.The ISG set itself the challenge of demonstrating successful cooperation with such forces which they believed was not possible or credible within the SWP which they left.The ISG championed close cooperation and unity with other organisations and individuals perceived as being on the left of Scottish and international politics in its approach to RIC and the independence referendum.Along with various books and pamphlets, the ISG published a free monthly colour broadsheet, Communiqué, with a Scottish editorial focus.
