Main cuts parties fail to engage with Mansewood and Hillpark Community Hustings.
All of the main parties have refused to take part in a community Hustings in the ward due to take place tonight . Only Jenni Robertson, Scottish Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) candidate and and the independent candidate Craig Ross responded.
Jenni said: "It seems the SNP, Labour, Greens, Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and Alba do not want to defend their pro capitalist cuts policies at a community debate. What contempt for voters these parties are showing! I am the only candidate in Newlands and Auldburn fighting for socialist change. For the setting of a no cuts/ needs budget that fights for the return of billions stolen by these parties cuts to invest in jobs and services. None of these parties have a solution to the cost of living crisis that includes nationalisation of the energy companies. More than ever this shows the need for a new workers party based on the trade unions that fights for socialist policies. I would like to thank the Mansewood and Hillpark Community Centre once again for their invitation and I am happy to meet with them and local residents to discuss Scottish TUSC’s campaign and policies.”
