WP Assembly Candidates 2016

The Workers’ Party will be contesting the forthcoming Northern Ireland Assembly elections with the following candidates:

Conor Campbell – West Belfast

Damien Harte – Upper Bann

Lily Kerr – South Belfast

Hugh Scullion – Mid Ulster

Gemma Weir – North Belfast

In a joint statement the candidates said,

“This election is not about the European Union – although the major parties here will want to turn it into a pre-referendum debate to divert attention away from their collective record over the past five years.”

“This election is about the failure and the refusal of the Executive Parties, in particular, to bring forward and implement the political, social and economic legislation to allow progress, stability and an improved quality of life for all.”

“This election is an opportunity to pass judgement on the record of those parties which have been running the Assembly and the Executive for the past five years. It is an opportunity to confront and condemn their joint programme of reductions in public services, continued austerity measures and cuts to social welfare under the guise of welfare reform.”

On Thursday, 5th May The Workers Party will be offering the electorate an alternative to austerity, cuts, social backwardness and inequality.
