Labour Party, Shannon, Future Coalition

category national | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Wednesday November 17, 2004 17:43author by eeekkkkk Report this post to the editors

simple question / having your cake and eating it reply

Saw Rodger Cole coments about Shannon/elections/Votes etc so for the crack I mailed in this question for Pat Rabbite after a phonecall to the Labour Party press office. I think it speaks for itsself.

Hi XXXXXX,

Question for Pat Rabbite as discussed on the phone.

Will the Labour Party be making the withdrawal of the use of Shannon by the US Military a precondition of entry into any future coalition government?

Thanks,

XXXXXXXXXXXXXX (1 of indymedia.ie)

Verbatim e- mail Reply:

Quote from Labour Spokesperson

"The Labour Party is opposed to the use of Shannon Airport by the US Military for the purposes of the illegal war on Iraq.

Labour is totally opposed to the use of Shannon by the US, or any other, military for military purposes not sanctioned by the United Nations.

No negotiations have begun with any other political party on agreeing a platform before the next General Election.

However, the Labour Party will make our position on this issue absolutely clear when that time comes."
