Former Cllr. criticises political direction of Labour Party

category sligo | politics / elections | other press author Monday April 23, 2007 15:38author by kat - lp Report this post to the editors

The newly selected Green Party election candidate in Sligo-North Leitrim Brian Scanlon has accused the Labour Party of not being representative of the working class and the underprivileged anymore.

Mr Scanlon was a former member of the Labour Party, and served on Sligo County Council as a Labour councillor from 1999 to 2004.

He resigned from the Labour Party at the end of last year.

He says while he found it hard to do so, he became disillusioned with the political direction Labour were heading in.

Mr Scanlon says when he lost his seat on Sligo County Council three years ago, he always intended to return to politics.

He says the Green Party's policies are ones he can associate with

Why vote for the new right wing Labour party when you can vote for the real thing the Blueshirts,or better still vote for the Greens.

When are we going to hear the end of this clap-trap from the Scanlon/Bree camp? Brian Scanlon can attack labour all he wants it still won't get him elected or give hime the numbers for him to claim he damaged McGarry

This is without doubt the most absurd attempt at a smear campaign from one so thoroughly discredited. Nobody will vote for Cake. Why the hell would they?

On top of this, Bree is still in danger of looking like a fool. McGarry doesn't need to get elected. He doesn't need to play a blinder or even come close. All he has to do is outpoll Brees last outing and Bree will made a laughing stock of. That is what is at the bottom of this crusade against McGarry. This is not about political Ideology or even Left vs Right within the Labour Party. It is purely about ego. Declan Brees.
