With so many undecided voters that close to the elections, every door knocked, every letter delivered, every hand shook and every conversation had can make all the difference especially in three-way marginals.

Jim faces a double euro-sceptic threat in his constituency. George Galloway’s Respect Party seems to think of Europe as an irrelevance. They didn’t even field candidates in the European Elections last year. The real threat, however, is that the euro-ignorant Respect party wins enough of the Labour vote to let the Tories in by the default. Since last week the Tories have let the euro-phobic cat out of the bag. Faced with Nick making inroads in Dave’s vote, they have started accusing the LibDems of leading the UK in to a European ‘Super-state’ and to be soft on immigration. A right-wing euro-sceptic’s dream combination as it merges small government rhetoric with euro/xeno-phobic sentiments.

Come on Saturday and help to re-elect Jim and to make Britain a fairer, greener, safer and more pro-European country.

Don’t let the Tory get away with it!

The financial crisis has already cost 7 million Europeans their jobs. The cost of the bail outs and intervention measures has been estimated by the PES to have cost each European €6,000 in extra public debt by the end of 2011.
Over the last 15 years, the number of financial transactions has increased by 450%. We are therefore calling for a financial transaction tax, (sometimes known as a ‘Robin Hood’ or ‘Tobin’ tax) of 0.05%, so that this massive flow of money, produces more social good.
A small tax on these transactions could help fund public services and help the world meet the UN Millennium Development Goals, to ensure that as we re-build our economy, we all benefit from this growth.

CAMPAIGN DAY IN POPLAR & LIMEHOUSE FOR JIM FITZPATRICK MEP

Please also put April 24 in your diary for the PES Action Day on the
Financial Transaction Tax with Claude Moraes MEP, followed by a
campaign session for Jim Fitzpatrick MP in Poplar and Limehouse.

We are running three phone banks ahead of the European elections on June 4.

We will be phoning EU expats who have registered to vote in the UK for the European elections. We will remind them that a higher EU expat turn-out might prevent the BNP from winning seats.

Sessions are scheduled from 6pm to 8.30pm at a location in Central London on the following days

Wednesday May 27, Monday June 1 and Tuesday June 2

to rsvp and for detailed joining instructions please write to lme.lse@hotmail.co.uk

Both make a strong case for why EU expats should vote for Labour on June 4.
