ELECTION SPECIAL
THEY’RE ALL IN
IT TOGETHER! The three main parties all support the same basic policies on May 3:
CUTS IN PUBLIC SERVICES: The last Labour government planned £130 billion spending cuts. The Tory-LibDem coalition has added an extra £83 billion. MASSIVE JOB LOSSES: Unemployment in Wales and Britain is heading for 3 million, including 1 million young people. CUTS IN BENEFITS: Pensioners, single parents and the disabled have been hit, as well as the unemployed.
Spring 2012
FIGHT THE CUTS! TAX THE RICH! Only the Communist Party puts workers, pensioners, the unemployed, single parents and the disabled FIRST. Ahead of big business profits, the rich, privatisation and war.
NO CONTROLS ON PRICES: While the gas, electricity, oil and supermarket monopolies make record profits.
That is why we OPPOSE all cuts in public spending, services, jobs, pensions and benefits.
TAX CUTS FOR BIG BUSINESS: The Labour and Tory-LibDem governments have cut corporation tax far below the USA, France, Germany and Japan.
Britain is one of the richest countries in the world. But onetenth of the population own more than half that wealth.
WASTING LIVES AND MONEY ON WAR: The three main British parties support the war in Afghanistan and more nuclear weapons for Britain.
A Wealth Tax on the super-rich would fund all the investment we need in public services, industry, housing, public transport and the environment.
AND IN MERTHYR, THE COUNCIL MAKING WORKERS PAY THE PRICE: Independent controlled Merthyr council has cut the pay and Terms & Conditions of their workers and made them take unpaid annual leave.
DO THEY SPEAK FOR YOU?
WE CAN AFFORD FIRST-CLASS PUBLIC SERVICES, PENSIONS AND BENEFITS by fair taxes on the rich and big business profits.
