The Welsh Alternatives

 

This is NOT a recommendation on how to use your vote, only a guide to the left of Labour candidates.

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.

Some people may be surprised at the inclusion of Plaid Cymru. However, whilst reading their website is like looking at a Welsh Liberal Democrat site their serving MPs have some of the best voting records in the house and include Adam Price who is leading the call to impeach Blair and was thrown out of the Commons for calling the PM a liar - not too shabby.

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