Thanks to those commenter's expressing support and offering votes.
To dispel some misconceptions, if the Workers Party ever did get an MP we would use the seat as a hub for organising on the ground amongst the working class. Our candidates have also pledged to take only the average workers wage from the massive MP salary and put the rest toward a 'fighting fund' for industrial action, and donations to organisations furthering workers interests.
5% of the vote translates to about 150,000 votes, depending on voter turn out.
