On the Left we must continue to point out that there is no differance between FF & FG, The time for Left unity is now. Its time to leave the individual egos behind and advance Class issues once and for all.

Left wing parties have to come together on issues which they agree upon and move forward the interests of the Working Class. Hard work and Unity brought success on Lisbon, lets ontinue it.

The Workers Party at its Ard Fheis called for Left Unity and committed the party to pursuing it.

The sad truth for the self-styled Workers Party is that, ironically, the PDs put themselves out of business by their success rather than their failure. The policies espoused by the PDs have now become the orthodoxy of the mainstream parties (i.e. the parties that the "working-classes" and everyone else actually votes for). Having had their policies adopted by FF, FG, and to a great extent, by Labour, the PDs find themselves surplus to requirements, and redundant.

The WP of course will never become redundant in a similar manner because no party that wanted to attract votes would dream of adopting the policies that brought such wealth and happiness to the peoples of the late unlamented USSR. The WP will go on and on and on, still attracting a negligible percentage of the electorate, and forever bemused at why the "working class" won't vote for their soviet fantasyland.

The "working class" is united alright. It's united in not voting for the WP!
