Splitter.  Your Party newspaper, The New Worker, states that you should vote Labour.
From Wiki

The NCP began to internally criticise the Soviet Gorbachev leadership in 1988 and following the collapse of the Soviet Union the party established relations with communist and workers parties throughout the world. In the 1990s Party Congresses adopted resolutions repudiating and denouncing Khruschev's anti-Stalin 20th Congress speech and defining its ideology around the "great revolutionary teachers of humanity, Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin" and the "great revolutionary leaders of the struggling masses, Mao Zedong, Kim Il Sung, Fidel Castro and Ho Chi Minh".
In April 1992 the New Communist Party was one of the initial signatories of the Pyongyang Declaration, along with 77 other communist, workers, socialist and progressive parties worldwide. Entitled Let Us Defend and Advance the Cause of Socialism, the declaration was the first statement made by the international communist movement since the collapse of the Soviet Union, and to date has been signed by around 250 parties.
In 2003 the NCP adopted an entirely new rule book, with the aim of building a monolith party and based on the principles laid down by the old Communist International.
The party is politically closest to what it sees as anti-revisionist Communist Parties who would see the Soviet leadership from Nikita Khrushchev onwards as stepping away from socialism. Internationally it supports Cuba, China, Vietnam, Laos and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
The NCP regularly attends the international conferences organised by the Communist Party of Greece (KKE), and May Day events organised by the Workers Party of Belgium (PTB/PvdA).
In the UK, the NCP has very close relations with the Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist), despite having major programmatic differences on the question of the Labour Party.

Amusing that someone criticising our Electoral Process is a voter for a Party that supports countries that are single-party states......
