May I respectfully ask, is it within the remit of the party to put together a stepped programme, clearly defining our goal of a moneyless society that would include a cost analysis/budget for those wishing to stand in local elections, or a second General Election that may or may not occur?
As superb as the party policy is, it is rather a complex notion to an electorate desperate for an alternative united party of the workers to comprehend, and thereby unappealing at the ballot box.
May I go as far as to suggest a possible first step? something along the lines that as Socialists, in a world powered by an economy of greed and fuelled by debt, we should avoid supporting the banking system by not taking on loans,finance,credit ect. Thus reducing the illusionary concept of created money, whilst encouraging utilisation of need above want, or to give it a modern spin, environmentalism and self sufficiency.
Over to you.
Yours for the cause.

Promoting such a scheme would be another pointless excercise that distracts from the real tasks. Socialism is not "self suffciency" (there cannot really be such a thing) but extending the socialised nature that already exists in production into the sphere of distribitution. (i.e all that is produced is already the product of the whole of society so we wish to make it the property of the whole of society as well).
