Statement to voters
Will you be glad to see the back of the Tories – but have no enthusiasm for Starmer’s Labour? Feel like we're paying more for things that don’t work properly, yet the rich are getting richer all the time? Feel let down by all the main parties on Gaza, on the Post Office and infected blood scandals, on housing, on the NHS and local services? We agree. Starmer's Labour will be the next government, but that won't be the change we need! In Coventry East, we have a chance to tell them what we think by sending a socialist working-class fighter who will fight for the issues that Labour has dropped and help build the pressure outside Parliament for a new party that will really represent us. "When all the establishment parties are the same, insisting ordinary working people pay for the crisis in their system, you need a strong, independent socialist to fight for you and your family. I’ve proven I can do that job on the council and in parliament - help me be your voice again when the next government lets us down like the last.” Dave Nellist, June 2024
