“The European Union is designed to promote the rigged and failed free market politics of privatisation and profits at any costs. A stand against privatisation and for public ownership and democracy has to be made and that’s what the No2EU platform is all about. Our appeal is to all those who want a working class alternative to the big business parties.”
Tommy Sheridan (Solidarity Co-Convenor and Number 2 on the Scottish No2EU list) For more info on the No2EU campaign and policies visit www.no2eu.com To watch No2EU’s party political broadcast please click here

Around 600,000 young people are leaving education this summer to face decreasing job opportunitiesand a huge leap in unemployment. We need a future that provides proper training and employment as well as genuine free education. Solidarity and the Youth Fight for Jobs campaign are committed to fighting for that future.”
