David Oatley, Workers' Revolutionary Party

Peter Cranie, Green Party
Beth Marshall, Socialist Labour
Walton
Daniel Wood, Liberal Party
Wavertree
Paul Filby, Democratic Socialist Alliance
Gary Theys, Socialist Labour
West Derby
Steve Radford, Liberal Party
Kai Andersen, Socialist Labour
All of the above parties took an entirely anti-war position on Iraq, although you might also want to look at individual candidate positions from the big three.
Wavertree looks the most interesting of the contests, with the Lib Dems in with an outside chance of unseating Jane Kennedy.

What does it take to get 65.9% of Riverside people to vote?
25.04.2005 19:22
Anti-Zionist - Louise Ellman NO!
Anti-War - Louise Ellman NO!
Working Class - Louise Ellman NO!
Which party and candidate is pro-Palestinian does anyone actually know?
Which party and candidate is working class?
Which party wants withdrawal from the EU?
Which party wants abolition of the Monarchy and House of Lords?
Which party wants full grants based on a £10 p/h minimum wage?
Which party opposes housing privatisation?
Most voters are disillusioned with this Labour government talk to people in Vauxhall and Everton, to the people in Granby facing demolition of homes. Less than 1/3rd of voters elected Louise Ellman how can that be democracy? Just who does she represent, certainly not the working class of Riverside or the multi-ethnic communities.
Go see the candidates at Liverpool University guild of students 3rd May 1pm.
Here's hoping it's defeat for Zionist Louise Ellman!

As for the rest of the nonesense in your postings, along with loads of other Labour party members I have spend the last few months working on street stalls, delivering leaflets and knocking on doors in places like Vauxhall, Everton and Granby and haven't exactly been fighting for space with other parties. We've generally met with support and goodwill - we've even had to order more windown posters they were so popular. Why? Because people in the city's most deprived communities have seen the transformation to their lives and life chances under a Labour Government, which in Liverpool Riverside alone has halved unemployment, increased education spending by 50% (building 18 new schools), is providing £1.5 billion of capital investment into the Royal Liverpool Hospital and brought thousands of pensioners out of poverty with Winter Fuel Payments and Pension Credits.

What do the 65.9% of Riverside want from a political party?

Anti-War - Louise Ellman NO!
Working Class - Louise Ellman NO!"
Working-class maybe, but I doubt whether or not candidates are anti-zionist or anti-war are top priorities for working-class people in Liverpool. They want representatives that are oging to speak up for them, and fight to improve the quality of their lives. Socialists have got to wake up to reality.
