Why no Socialist Alliance Candidate ?

Vote for me: I'll set you Free | 03.05.2002 15:25

In such dire electoral times as these, why was there no Socialist Alliance candidate in my area ?

Surely if there was a time for that serious "alternative" we keep talking about, one that any member of the public can support without putting on white overalls, the time, to coin the cliche, is now (or rather yesterday).
So why didnt the Socialist Alliance make every effort to put candidiates wherever they could ? Perhaps they couldnt find "ideal" volunteers (for ideal, read some disillusioned, stuffy ex-labour party type who's had a twinge of conscience 5 years too late). Why didnt the SA just ring round their local memebership lists until they found a volunteer ? I wouldve done it; Im up for anything and I couldve had some fun trying to figure out which 10 voters gave me their support today...
