'Constitutional Coup' Claim by People's Assembly

Dear Friend, The Tories and their supporters in the press are preparing a post election plan to stay in office even if Labour and the SNP have more seats in Parliament. They are planning to declare that they are the legitimate government and have the right to form an administration. This was the meaning of the recent Times editorial which urged Cameron to 'Occupy Downing Street'. This will be a 'constitutional coup' against the wishes of the electorate. That's why we are calling for an immediate protest if this happens: Assemble: Saturday 9 May 1pm, Downing Street. We cannot allow the Tories to get away with using a flagrant abuse of power to impose the most severe austerity this country has seen since the Second World War. We will use this facebook event page to keep you updated about any changes to the time of the demonstration depending on the outcome of the election. Watch this space and, please, invite your friends and share the facebook event page. More info: Seumas Milne in the Guardian: "The Tories are plotting a coup in the name of legitimacy" Owen Jones in New Statesman: "if the Tories get more seats than Labour, get ready for a Very British Coup" Whatever happens, the People's Assembly 'End Austerity Now' national demonstration on Saturday 20 June is more important than ever. Please keep spreading the word and lets make sure the new government feels the full force of the anti-austerity majority in Britain out on the streets in just six weeks time. Tell the new government: End Austerity Now National demonstration, Saturday 20 June Assemble: 12pm, Bank of England Invite your friends The People's Assembly Against Austerity http://www.thepeoplesassembly.org.uk/
