Surprise new candidate for West Belfast![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A surprise new candidate for the West Belfast constituency has been announced. Brian Pelan is standing as an independent candidate but firmly within the Connolly socialist tradition, raising the slogan of a Workers Republic. Although a new name to most electors Brian Pelan has been around a long time with his last foray into electoral politics being election agent for successful Belfast City councillor John McAnulty during the hunger strike.
