For many years, the Liberal Party and then the Lib-Dems were known by working class people as 'yellow Tories.' They were rightly distrusted as a party that could always be relied to side with the rich against the poor, with big business against trade unions.

On 11th May 2010 the Lib-Dems returned to type, ushering the Tory government so feared by working people. 

Starts 7.30pm @ Basement Meeting Room, Saffron Restaurant, 107 Cheetham Hill Rd

Manchester Respect would like to welcome all those who participated in the election campaign to the meeting to take part in the post-election discussion and debate.

What next for Respect? What lessons are there to learn? What did we do well? Can we build a genuinely progressive alliance? What does the future hold for politics in Britain?
