Water charge groups clash over ‘left’ party leadership

A row has broken out between the Right2Water campaign and supporters of the Non Payment Network over who will lead a new ‘left’ political party.

The Non Payment Network announced this week that it will be running candidates in the next election, placing them in direct competition with Right2Water.

The groups are clashing over who will lead a new political movement powered by the mass water charge demonstrations and inspired by the successes of Podemos in Spain and Syriza in Greece.
