  • A week on from General Election 2024, the People Before Profit TD looks at the fragmented left and asks what it can do to change politics in the future.

The article discusses Paul Murphy, a prominent figure in Irish politics and a member of the European Parliament, who emphasizes the necessity for the Irish left to unite in preparation for future elections.

He highlights the need for a cohesive strategy to challenge the dominance of centrist and right-wing parties, especially in light of upcoming local, European, and general elections.

Murphy's call for unity is framed as a critical step towards not only electoral success but also towards implementing substantial policy changes that align with left-wing ideologies.
