The Workers’ Party announced their party list for the 2008 general elections this afternoon, and it features a few names familiar around the University:
The Party is contesting the party list vote for the first time in these elections.
“Our main campaign slogan for these elections is ‘workers should be running the country!’ and this is certainly reflected in our list of candidates,” says Workers Party national organiser Tim Bowron.
“All of our candidates are proven fighters whose only loyalty is to the working class who create all of the wealth in society – not the parasitical boss class that currently consumes most of it.”
