On 24 May you will have the opportunity to vote for and elect Socialist Party candidates who have been tireless campaigners for working class people. Joe Higgins TD has been the real opposition to the government for the last ten years. You can strengthen that opposition by electing other Socialist Party TDs to join Joe in the Dail.

For ten years Fianna Fail and the PDs have governed on behalf of big business and the rich. Through neglect and their support for privatisation we have major crises in the health service, education, housing, and transport. Fine Gael and Labour in power would continue with the same pro-big business agenda. The Greens and Sinn Fein portray themselves as anti-establishment, but both parties have said they are prepared to go into government with either Fianna Fail or Fine Gael, they aren’t fussy which anti-working class government they prop up.

Winning more seats in the Dail will help the Socialist Party to fight on the real issues that affect working class people. We need to build a strong socialist alternative to the establishment parties – on 24th May you can make a difference – Vote Socialist Party No.1!
