Alternative votes in Liverpool
pingupete, 13.05.2004 21:50

A list of this year's alternative candidates in the Liverpool local elections.

In this year’s local elections there is probably the best spread of alternative candidates in a long time, and with the BNP being a real threat regionally and racist/nationalist parties standing locally, maybe this year it is worth voting in some areas of Liverpool. The numbers are:

27 Green Party candidates
8 Socialist Alliance
7 Liverpool Labour
5 Socialist Labour
1 Communist Party

In Central ward both the Greens and Liverpool Labour have a chance of getting one or two candidates in and in Greenbank Greens and Socialist Alliance could really easily strip Labour of enough votes to relegate their candidates into 3rd place or worse.

After some consideration, I’ve included Liverpool Labour on the list as the main point of this is to people show there are alternatives to the Tory Party 1, Storey Party in disguise) and the Tony Party. Amusingly, Howard’s Tories are in meltdown in Liverpool – they only managed 29 candidates, even less than last year despite 90 vacancies.

If you only have 1 or 2 decent local candidates, there is no compulsion to use your 2nd or 3rd vote, and if you don't believe voting will have any effect (even if it is only a kick up the arse in some marginal Labour / Lib Dem seat), then read something else that won't bore you as much.

Democratic Socialist Alliance - rebels against Respect

'Democratic Socialist Alliance - People Before Profit' www.democracyplatform.org.uk

Ok newswire cleaners, I'm not promoting them, just telling people that the SA rebels are standing here and there - they have been in dispute with the Socialist Alliance for a while now, mainly due to the SWP-domination and the Respect's formation.

Its useful for people to know...isn't it?

zzz...





Galloway's an honest bloke
