The Scottish Alternatives

 

This is NOT a recommendation on how to use your vote, only a guide to the left of Labour candidates, so, for instance, many socialists will be voting for Ian Gibson in Norwich South rather than the Green candidate.

Also we are not listing all seats, but we are listing all seats where there is a progressive left of Labour candidate. And one last note of caution, remember that the Euro election results are just a guide to the strength of the party in the area, drawing direct comparison between the figures could be misleading as these are not equivalent elections.

DUE TO SCOTTISH BOUNDARIES BEING REDRAWN SINCE THE 2001 ELECTION the previous results section can be only a rough guide for the kind of result gained in that area in 2001.

 

Where the name appears as a link this will refer you to their responses to the famous socialist unity general election questionnaire 2005
