A new alliance of political parties has threatened today to embark on a campaign of sustained resistance on the streets to force the Government out of office.

The United Left Alliance (ULA), which includes the Socialist Party and the People Before Profit Alliance, has said it wants to provide an alternative to the main political parties.

The ULA said the four year budgetary plan published yesterday is an attack on the poor and a protection of the rich.

Councillor Richard Boyd Barratt said that it is time for people to revolt.

"We're not talking about extremism, we're talking about standing up against the extremism of the IMF and this Government," he said.

"You couldn't get more extreme that what this Government is proposing to do to the majority of Irish people.

"So we're saying let's stand together. People power can bring change."
