The Left List will launch its party political broadcast tomorrow ahead of transmission on ITV1 at 6.25pm and BBC1 at 6.55pm.
The broadcast has been produced and directed by Iranian documentary filmmaker Amir Amirani, who has worked with the BBC, Channel4 and Al Jazeera with a soundtrack by Dave Randall.
A number of Left List candidates are featured, discussing why the Left List is the only left voice in the GLA elections – the only voice that will fight for affordable housing, cheaper transport and public services on the London Assembly.
You can view the broadcast below:
The inclusion of this election broadcast in no way signals support or endorsement of any candidate
Damian Hockney AM, One London Party says
Obviously with my free market anti-regulation background, the Left List are not advocating my type of policies (but I agree with them on civil liberties being taken away because of the ‘war on terror’). However, it was a good talking heads broadcast and the people featured were reasonable and clear. If you are voting on May 1st and inclined to vote for a left wing party, then vote for these people (or Respect) on that important Assembly List and NOT Labour. If you manage to put a couple of the Left List or Respect in, then it will make it a lot easier for ALL the rest to hold the Mayor to account. Remember that Labour Assembly Members simply have to toe the Government line – they cannot act independently. This matters irrespective of whether Labour or Conservative win the Mayor election. Neither of the larger parties can hold the Mayor to account in areas where their masters nationally tell them they cannot.
