“It wouldn’t make sense to expect a Labour majority in the next election, but you run as a candidate on the principles you believe in.”

Make sure you're on the register & have your voice heard in local/general/eu/presidential elections and referendums.

Happy to co-operate with others on the left genuinely interested in implementing policies. Endless sniping of Labour doesn't help either.

Fianna Fáil will claim to be libertarians like the PD's when it's popular. Social democracy just a trend for FF. Labour is the real thing.

I’m a Labour member because I want to see social democratic policies introduced. I take part in protests, but govt is where change is made.

There are things the party is at fault for, which it should and does admit to. Labour rightly won’t apologise for the good it did in govt.
