Manifesto |
Bill Greenshields, CP representative on national committee of the People's Assembly outlines a radical new manifesto aiming to inspire a movement for economic justice in the run up to and beyoned, the 7 May general election. The People’s Manifesto was launched on 28 February 2015 by the People’s Assembly Against Austerity. The manifesto makes a compelling and powerful case for an alternative to austerity based on the needs of ordinary people “A people’s Britain, not a bankers’ Britain.” It calls for a the building of a sustained mass movement to bring that alternative about, rather than simply calling for general election votes.
