It is very good news to hear we are to have an Independent Labour candidate in the General Elections

Shands claim to fame is "I'm 26, a Senior, mature lecturer in Muldoon's Cost-Benefits Analysis Accountancy systems. This is better handled, by Muldoon's henchmen, than a pleasant nice glamour boy calling himself Labour. Cost Benefits belong to the 19th Century and are outdated. Mr Shands other dynamic effort was to waste hours of time and effort the University Club, so that the graduates in Labour philosophy can sip tea, drink booze and butter each other up. — Are the old age pensioners welcome, the solo parents, the so called dropouts, "Trade Union Members, in fact the populace who need somewhere to go? O.K. if they are a Dandy-Shandy type and been "educated" in what?

All these dynamic qualifications, for a Labour? candidate aged 26, God what will he be like at 36, pregnant with ideas for a super-Post Graduate Club, or Muldoon's shadow minister or rubber stamps? Thank goodness, we shall have these coming months, an independent Labour Candidate, who claims only a modicum of guts but at least genuine Labour guts.
