The latest changes in the SWP's election line up

category national | politics / elections | news report author Friday May 14, 2004 19:53author by SWatcher Report this post to the editors

Captain Wingnut wings it over to North Inner City?? While 'Hutch' Hassey stands in Waterford

Yet again the dogs in the street are talking of an impending change to the SWP's electoral foray.

It seems that Captain Kevin 'Saturday Night' Wingnut is about to switch wards from Ballymun to the North Inner City. He obviously feels that he will not do as well as last time, afterall you can't get lucky everytime. In 1999 he got 69 and was delighted (BTW I refer to the number of votes not percentage or anything else)

Captain Wingnut obviously feels he can pick up the bulk of Gregory's 2 quotas however he will have fierce competition from Mick 'click click' Gallagher and Working Class Alleyway Action.

Also another thing of interest is the SWP have announced that they will be standing in Ward 3 of Waterford City Council Roy 'Hutch' Hassey obviously doesn't want the athletisism and hard work of himself and Jimmy 'Startsky' Kelly to in the radiography campaign not to be reflected in the election
