Left must form socialist government

Today is a very historic day for socialism and the Left in Irish politics as the parties of the right have been thrashed at the polls by the voters who have been the victims of austerity by Fine Gael and the Labour Party who are screwing us for water charges and property tax.

But I am concerned by the comeback of Fianna Fáil, that other right-wing party that was first to bring hard times on us in 2008.

I hope that the Left will remind the voters of this in the next two years leading up to the next general election in 2016 as it’s no good replacing one right-wing monster with another right-wing monster who would continue to screw us with austerity as nothing changes in the tweedledee tweedledom merry go round.
