Mon 04 Apr 2007Socialists promise to challenge 'right-wing economic agenda'Socialist Party:The Socialist Party has pledged to challenge the right-wing economic agenda which it says has motivated the Fianna Fáil-PD Government and enriched speculators and big corporations."For working people looking at the main parties, this is a no-choice election. What is striking is how similar the policies of the official Opposition are to the Government. In government, Fine Gael and Labour will not fundamentally change anything," said the party in a statement.
