Press Release: 23/09/05
The Scottish Socialist Party candidate in the Cathcart by-election, Ronnie Stevenson, today attacked the Liberal Democrats over the £2.4 million donation by a Swiss-based company headed by Scottish-born financier Michael Brown.
Ronnie Stevenson said today;
“In the last General Election many people voted for the Liberal Democrats in good faith as they posed as a party that was left of centre.
“The Liberal Democrats now stand exposed as another grubby outfit in the pocket of billionaire big businessmen.
“The SSP appeals to voters to back the only party in this by election that stands openly and honestly on the side of working people and against the interests of corporate big business.”
