Alternative votes in Liverpool

pingu | 23.04.2005 20:11 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Liverpool

Alternative votes in Liverpool might increase turnout

Garston

David Oatley, Workers' Revolutionary Party


Riverside

Peter Cranie, Green Party
Beth Marshall, Socialist Labour


Walton

Daniel Wood, Liberal Party


Wavertree

Paul Filby, Democratic Socialist Alliance
Gary Theys, Socialist Labour


West Derby

Steve Radford, Liberal Party
Kai Andersen, Socialist Labour


All of the above parties took an entirely anti-war position on Iraq, although you might also want to look at individual candidate positions from the big three.

Wavertree looks the most interesting of the contests, with the Lib Dems in with an outside chance of unseating Jane Kennedy.

What does it take to get 65.9% of Riverside people to vote?

25.04.2005 19:22

What do the 65.9% of Riverside the 2/3rd majority want from a political party and representative then?

Anti-Zionist - Louise Ellman NO!
Anti-War - Louise Ellman NO!
Working Class - Louise Ellman NO!

Which party and candidate is pro-Palestinian does anyone actually know?

Which party and candidate is working class?

Which party wants withdrawal from the EU?

Which party wants abolition of the Monarchy and House of Lords?

Which party wants full grants based on a £10 p/h minimum wage?

Which party opposes housing privatisation?

Most voters are disillusioned with this Labour government talk to people in Vauxhall and Everton, to the people in Granby facing demolition of homes. Less than 1/3rd of voters elected Louise Ellman how can that be democracy? Just who does she represent, certainly not the working class of Riverside or the multi-ethnic communities.

Go see the candidates at Liverpool University guild of students 3rd May 1pm.

Here's hoping it's defeat for Zionist Louise Ellman!

Labour's position (and, as I understand it, that of Louise Ellman) is clear: a viable Palastinian state alongside a safe and secure Israel based on its 1967 borders. Through the Road Map a Labour Government is playing a vital part in bringing the aspiration of Palastinian statehood about. People are quick to nail their colours to the Palastine cause, but don't/won't say whether they support the right of Israel to exist or whether they condemn anti-semitism from whatever source.

As for the rest of the nonesense in your postings, along with loads of other Labour party members I have spend the last few months working on street stalls, delivering leaflets and knocking on doors in places like Vauxhall, Everton and Granby and haven't exactly been fighting for space with other parties. We've generally met with support and goodwill - we've even had to order more windown posters they were so popular. Why? Because people in the city's most deprived communities have seen the transformation to their lives and life chances under a Labour Government, which in Liverpool Riverside alone has halved unemployment, increased education spending by 50% (building 18 new schools), is providing £1.5 billion of capital investment into the Royal Liverpool Hospital and brought thousands of pensioners out of poverty with Winter Fuel Payments and Pension Credits.

"Anti-Zionist - Louise Ellman NO!
Anti-War - Louise Ellman NO!
Working Class - Louise Ellman NO!"

Working-class maybe, but I doubt whether or not candidates are anti-zionist or anti-war are top priorities for working-class people in Liverpool. They want representatives that are oging to speak up for them, and fight to improve the quality of their lives. Socialists have got to wake up to reality.
