Attacks On Joe Higgins Show The Establishment Is Running Scared
The People Before Profit Alliance today called on the public to vote for real change on Friday
Spokesperson Richard Boyd Barrett said “The response at the doorstep and recent poll results show there is a real desire fro change. People are angry with a government that has pumped billions into failed banks while services and wages are cut and dole queues get longer. On Friday the public should vote for candidates who offer a genuine alternative to the failed policies of the establishment parties. We are confident that the People Before Profit Alliance and other left independents will make gains. We are aiming to have more seats than the Greens who are now a spent force in Irish politics.
