I live in sunny Melbourne. The Socialist Equality Party has a branch in the UK. It also has a student organization "The International Students for social equality" with chapters on campuses around the world.
The web address is www.wsws.org. Apart from the daily analysis, which is a struggle to keep up with, there is are also extensive libraries on arts, film, science, literature and history which are second to none in their analysis. I recommend that you read the 2005 Summer schools lectures listed on the home page (when you find the time), as these give quite a detailed history of the our party in relation to the betrayals of Stalinism, radicals and Social Democracy Good luck with your exams!
