How often have you found yourself shouting at the television news or switching off the radio in disgust as some New Labour minister justifies another hand-out to the bankers or deadly bombing raid on a country far away? How often have you marched for peace and justice but felt you were ignored by politicians and the media?

How often have you thought that it would be nice if there was an alternative to the three main parties of big business, privatisation and war?

Well there is. The Respect Party is a small but growing alternative political party - a party where actions speak louder than words.

This is the case for Respect.

Seven short essays written by activists in the Respect Party outline the range of the party's politics that combine to create the letters in Respect's name.

1. George Galloway MP on Respect
2. Tower Hamlets Councillor Abjol Miah on Equality
3. National Council member Clive Searle on Socialism
4. Journalist Yvonne Ridley on Peace
5. Campaigner Roy Wilkes on Environment
6. Respect National Chair Kay Phillips on Community
7. Unite activist Jerry Hicks on Trade Unions
