Politics of Lisbon not enough

Left needs some inspiration and ambition

Article written for the Weekly Worker setting out an analysis of the current crisis, the prospects for left unity and the need for a united European working class.

Capitalism in Ireland is collapsing around our ears. The working class are being made to pay. Rather than another anti-cuts campaign we urgently need a working class party to take on the system. Being anti-cuts is not enough - we need a vision and a programme for revolutionary change. The Lisbon referendum can provide a platform to argue for this party and to call for a united European working class.
