Three years of austerity, four austerity budgets, and every year, every budget, the deficit and the crisis has gotten worse. The more they take out of the economy, the worse the crisis gets.

Three years of austerity, four austerity budgets, and every year, every budget, the deficit and the crisis has gotten worse. The more they take out of the economy, the worse the crisis gets.

The people of  Dublin West can use this election to say: Enough is  Enough – No more austerity cutbacks that are destroying the economy and jobs. Labour & Fine Gael have 113 TDs. A victory for them in this by-election would encourage worse austerity & arrogance. They promised change but betrayed that promise. Don’t trust them again!

 

Use this election to say:

  • YES to reversing all the cuts to Connolly Hospital.
  • YES to a write down of rip-off mortgages & repayments, to lift the strain of debt and keep people in their homes.
  • Elect Ruth Coppinger and help us launch a new party to really represent ordinary working class people.

To find out more about the alternative to austerity, check out the centre pages of our manifest below.

Local & Euro Elections 2019: Green Surge & Lacklustre Performance for Political Establishment

A very significant surge for the Greens, huge loss of seats for Sinn Fein, and losses for the Left were the headline stories of Local and European Elections May 2019. While the elections absolutely did not represent any ringing endorsement for the Government or political establishment, the combination of the impact of a late Greens surge, and a low turnout amongst the harder pressed sections of the working class, impinged significantly on the Left’s vote.

Comment: Establishment got Yes vote through falsehoods and lies

Even as the votes in the  Fiscal/Austerity Treaty Referendum were being counted, attention was already moving to the immediate and medium term future of the Eurozone and the fate of the millions of people in its economically beleaguered periphery. History may well show that the treaty itself was an almost irrelevant distraction from an honest appraisal of the cataclysmic problems that bedevil the currency union as all the contradictions in its economic and financial systems assert themselves with a vengeance.
