Pilton Sucks dotCom

Labour leader Jack Mconnell has told the Fabian society that the SNP are a serious threat to Labour at next years national election. Really no one would have guessed,but why tell the Fabian society,why not take the message out to the real people in the communities across Scotland.

Clearly Labour have lost touch with the electorate,and their internal problems as seen by Ms deacons recent decision to stand down have not helped.

Pilton Sucks does not wish to join in with Labours internal misery,but we have been saying for some time that locally Labour is out of touch and this is now reflected nationally.

It is clear on two points that Labour needs fresh blood and ideas and abandon the old pals act which sees the same tired people trundled out time after time pleading for your vote and promising a new dawn. The electorate of Greater Pilton have like many other communities been a victim of this fraud, and have gone along with it for to long.

We have said reapeatedly that Labour should look beyond its own clique and seek out community activists amoung others to take up the baton and run for office.

It is no secret that there is a move in Greater Pilton to stand community candidates at both local and national elections next year. We have seen some of the names spoken about as potential candidates and Labour should take serious note,for if one or two of these people decide to stand,Labour could be in real trouble.

There is a strong rumour in the community,and it as far as we know remains just that at the moment,that a well respected community activist has been approached to stand as a community candidate at next years national election.

We have heard this persons name and if true he could offer a real challenge to Labour in North Edinburgh and Leith.

While Labour sit back and rest in their complacency,the other parties are stealing their cloth. The SNP offer nothing except ludicrous pipe dreams,the Torries will just shut your communities down so they can cut taxes for the better off,and the Lib Dems,well they are a joke party content to feed off the scrapes of the others, so the idea of a community candidate seems quite appealing. 

Waych this space.
