LRC launches ‘A People’s Agenda’

28th March 2010

The LRC has launched a pamphlet for the General Election 2010 - A People’s Agenda. The idea of the pamphlet is to generate the real political discussion we want at election time.

As LRC Chair John McDonnell MP, writes in the Introduction:

“As we go into the 2010 General Election, it is clear that much of the electorate feels it has no choice - with all the three major parties offering the same prescription for the UK: there will be cuts to your local services and to your pay - and quite possibly your job too.”

“This document sets out some broad ideas for the society we want. But we want your ideas and responses to”. (JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

LRC vice chair Susan Press said:

“Alistair Darling’s only answer to the present crisis is cuts in public spending which will be “deeper and tougher” than Margaret Thatcher’s. The programme outlined in A People’s Agenda shows clearly that there is a socialist alternative to New Labour’s policies, which could transform our society. It’s time the many who are suffering because of the recession stopped paying for the few who continue to reap big bonuses at our expense.”

Andrew Fisher, LRC joint secretary, said:

“Despite the consensus among the main three parties on public service cuts, privatisation, and the war in Afghanistan, there remains overwhelming public opposition to policies on offer at the 2010 General Election.

“This short pamphlet was commissioned to ensure an alternative agenda is put before voters at the election.”

Sarah Evans, Labour PPC for North West Hampshire:

“It outlines, perfectly, all the reasons that I joined the Labour Party; I believe it will provide encouragement to many people to rejoin the fight to bring about a future, truly fair for all.”
