Amendments to conference resolutions

• Amendment to Motion 2 on Respect and the Economy
  
  Replace point 3 with:
  
  "This has now led to a major crash and the nationalisation of large chunks of the financial system, in the UK, US and elsewhere. This desperation by right-wing, pro-market governments to save their system from bankruptcy by methods borrowed (in a distorted way) from the left is a major defeat for neo-liberalism and opens up a huge political space to argue for rational planning and social ownership of the commanding heights of the economy."
  
  Delete point 4
  
  Before point 5 add section header:
  
  "Conference Resolves"
  and renumber points 5 to 7 as "Conference Resolves" 1 to 3.
  
  Proposed by Southwark Respect
  
  
• Amendment to Motion 5 on Labour Government
  
  At the end, add the following:
  
  "as a victory for the Tories would be a shift to the right and a set-back for working people and the oppressed. However, we call for a vote wherever possible for credible candidates to the left of New Labour."
