Talk:United Left Alliance

GE Candidates
This releates to the election infoboxes on candidates. Should ULA candidates be considered members of the ULA or members of their respective parties. ElectionsIreland is making a bit of a cockup in their info on the candidates by designating people who've ran in previous elections by the party they ran under (e.g. Richard Boyd Barrett and Joe Higgins) and others (this includes WUAG member Seamus Healey and members of the SP and PbP who havnt previously contested the election) as running for the ULA.

Constituent Parts
Should Declan Bree's Independent Socialist Group be included in the "Preceded By"?

Northern Ireland
Also, are the elected representatives of the constituent parties in Northern Ireland to be included as ULA members on this page? The Socialist Party currently has 1 councillor. Is the United Left Alliance only for the southern components?

MEPs and councillors
Joe Higgins was elected and sits in the European Parliament as a Socialist Party politician, not as a member of the ULA. The same applies for Socialist Party and PBP councillors. --Kwekubo (talk) 14:16, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Higgins no longer an MEP, replaced by Paul Murphy.
 * I see your point, but this would indicate that the MEP and some of the councillors do indeed regard themselves as ULA.Lozleader (talk) 16:55, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

The ULA today
Needs a section or at least some explanation of the ULA as it exists in the present time. The infobox still claims the ULA has three TDs. Who are they? Certainly Boyd-Barrett is one but what of Daly and Collins. If they have founded a new "United Left" party are they still in the ULA, is it a component of the ULA? As an observer it would seem to only consist of the members of the SWP/People Before Profit and some non-aligned people. Needs clarification. Coolavokig (talk) 04:24, 8 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Its pretty much like Monty Pythons famous parrot according to this article. http://links.org.au/node/3326 In terms of the three remaining groups: PbPA/SWP have practically abandoned the group. They held their only annual conference so far, in spite of being registed as a party since 2006 in order to "relauch" the alliance. They seem to be still carrying the ULA name, meaning they'll try to resurrect it if it suits them.
 * Collins & Daly seem to be going forward with their United Left party - though there has been scant mention of that group since they registered last May.
 * Don't know about the non-aligned members. They'll either join UL or get involved in the other groups mentioned in the article.


 * WUAG are trying desperately to organise in North Tipperary. The boundary changed screw over their only TD's chance of being re-elected.
 * The SP have pretty much taken over CAWHT. Its been renamed CAPTA and they're fielding candidates for the locals in 2014.
 * The SP havnt come out of the ULA in good form. They've been losing members since Daly resigned (recently here: http://cedarlounge.wordpress.com/2013/07/25/weekly-worker-article-on-the-sp/) and I cant see them make any gains in the locals despite taking over CAWHT. Their Euro seat was a Joe Higgins seat, not a SP seat. Paul Murphy will be lucky to reclaim expenses.
