Ivana Bacik: the new leader of the Labour Party says Labour is to fight the next general election on its own as a ‘standalone’ party. Picture: Fergal Phillips
Ivana Bacik, the new leader of Labour, has pledged that it will fight the next election as a “standalone party” rather than joining any left-wing alliance., Bacik also spoke about her belief that a citizens’ assembly on a united Ireland should only be established if it was backed by a majority of politicians on both sides of the border.
obraonain Wait, what?
obraonain Well that's that then. Why does this party exist? Why?
obraonain She's hoping that Labour can be the kingmakers after the next election and will literally go into govt with anyone at all.
obraonain Why would she join a coalition with a party that nobody knows who’s in charge and PBP ?
obraonain Dick Spring pulled the plug on Govt, that for me was the measure of the guy, subsequent leaders are only trotting behind in the kahuna department, male & female both.
obraonain I find this very hard to believe but I won't be subscribing to find out I wonder has ivanabacik simply 'ruled out' a 'left wing alliance', simply the same way she ruled out alliance with others.? I presume everyone in the comments has read the article. Screenshots anyone?
obraonain So, Labour still have no problem joining more right-wing parties - but not any left direction ones? The founders of the Labour party are yet again rolling in their graves. Modern Labour continues to betray the people they are supposed to more represent?
obraonain
obraonain Labour will be no more by the end of the decade
obraonain I believe she's going to adopt blue shirts as an ILP uniform 😃
obraonain What would the Labour Party (especially under her ‘leadership’) be doing in a left wing alliance anyway? Their natural allies are Fine Gael and the Green Party.
obraonain Leader of a rump party of nobodies, going nowhere fast. A prop to right wing governments, when needed. Sin é.
obraonain So let me see.. A party pretending to be Labour rules out going in with the left, leaving FF FG as their preferred choice... That's really what the people want alright 🙄
obraonain So Labour ditch Kelly bc of polling no.s. Now Bacik's/Labour's tactic is to hoover up those getting disillusioned w FG? Talk about fighting over scraps. Labour=self interest. Connolly is puking. I'll give them one more election til they disappear into complete obscurity
obraonain Jesus Christ! So basically labour have given up all pretence of being a left wing workers party now? They’ve completely forgotten who they are meant to represent. Even in 2011 they still pretended for the gallery
obraonain Then change the name of your party. Why do you exist?
obraonain Why would a right wing party join a left wing alliance?
obraonain Does She really think that either She, or the Irish Labour Party, have some sort of ‘Power’… Politically in Ireland 2022 ?
obraonain Labour should accept defeat and just join SocDems. Their brand is toxic. Good heads like DuncanSmithTD etc should join forces against FG and FF and form an alliance with SF
wolfiewire obraonain What, in the name of all that is good, do Labour even stand for anymore?
obraonain Who asked her?
obraonain Are Labour left wing … their last term in government would suggest otherwise.
obraonain Sure why would Labour join a left wing alliance? They've only ever been in government with FFFG.
obraonain Vote ivanabacik get LeoVaradkar .
obraonain Fine Gael lite confirmed
obraonain Because Labour are a right wing party. Labour are FG’s willing enablers in putting the boot into the most vulnerable in Irish society. Charlatans who have hijacked James Connolly’s party.
obraonain Not surprising, why would a right wing party go into power with the left ?
obraonain Joke of a party
obraonain A party polling at under 5% who gives a FCUK..except of course FG..Whom they usually prop up 🧐😉😉
obraonain “Vote Labour, Vote Right” 🥴
obraonain Thank God
obraonain She’s only there to prop up FG, that’s the plan
obraonain That's not surprising, ivanabacik ia not left wing
obraonain Thanks for the heads up. Will just include labour as FFG so.
obraonain How could they? Labour are Fine Gael lite.
obraonain They will do to the highest bidder after election. About as left wing as tge DUP
