Socialist Party By Election Manifesto

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.

Defend Blanchardstown Hospital: Rebuke Labour & Fine Gael

Minister Leo Varadkar has disgracefully attacked the Defend Blanchardstown Hospital Campaign, that involves many hospital staff, claiming it is scaremongering and exaggerating about the threat to the hospital's future. He dismisses the concerns of the doctors, nurses and staff.

Ruth Coppinger says, “It is Minister Varadkar who is scaremongering by attacking the motives of the Campaign. It is due the work of the Defend Blanchardstown Hospital Campaign over the last months that the threat to cut the A&E to a 12-hour service has been lifted.

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.
