Make them Pay on 23rd May!
You can help to unseat Labour & austerity party politicians.
The People Before Profit Alliance is pursuing a very deliberate strategy of seeking to replace Labour councillors with real left candidates, & thus create a different brand of politics that is not about playing the establishment’s game.
We have ruled out any coalition deal with right wing parties – either at local or governmental level.
Instead of election promises which turn into cynical lies, PBPA promises to be a force that promotes ‘people power’.
Our elected councillors will act as community representatives & will pursue every grievance that is raised with them.They will also act as a watch dog on the unelected officials who control most decision making at local level.
But the key objective will be to use the elected positions to mobilise other people into a struggle against austerity. These battles will not be won inside council chambers but outside on the streets.

One of the major issues that we confront is water charges.
The people of Togher in Cork should be congratulated for opposing the presence of Irish Water in their area. This example should be spread elsewhere.
*IF YOU HEAR OF WATER METERS BEING INSTALLED IN GALWAY, PLEASE LET US KNOW. WE WILL SPREAD THE WORD & TOGETHER ORGANISE OPPOSITION.

But alongside these local battles we believe that we need a clear national strategy that provides us with a chance of winning.
First de-stabilise the government, by inflicting huge losses on them in the local & euro elections.
Then follow that up with protests that escalate into peaceful, mass civil disobedience and workers action.
