North Yorkshire, send a clear message to Westminster

Leslie Rowe, Green candidate for Richmond.

Press Release 23/2/2010 Immediate

At a meeting of the Green Party in Richmond this week, Leslie Rowe was confirmed as the Green Party candidate for the Richmond constituency at the next General Election. Thanking members for their support, Leslie commented:

“This general election represents a real opportunity for North Yorkshire to send a clear message to Westminster. End the creeping privatisation of the health service by both Labour and Conservatives. Fight the greed in Parliament by voting for a candidate not financed by either Big Business or the Unions.”

An active campaigner & parish councillor, Leslie Rowe claims no expenses for his work in the community.

Leslie campaigns all year round for local residents, not just at election time. “We need a transition to a sustainable society, based on living in harmony with our environment. Our slogan will be put the planet before profits.

Leslie Rowe lives in the Richmond Constituency with his wife and 3 children. Not parachuted in from Brussels like the Lib Dem, Leslie Rowe and the Green Party represent a real alternative to the tired old politics of Conservative or Labour.

“The Green Party is the only party that has the policies to tackle head-on the economic crisis and at the same time lay the foundations for a sustainable and fair society.”

“The Green Party rejects as false the choice between ‘economy' or the ‘environment' - we CAN do both,” said Leslie Rowe.

Our 2009 manifesto sets out a plan for creating 1 million jobs through investment in renewable energy, housing, public transport and social care.

We call this the Green New Deal - an approach to the economy that puts Britain firmly on the road to recovery, addresses the urgent climate crisis while improving the way we all lead our lives.

"We believe in fighting for fairness - not crossing our fingers and hoping for the best. Our proposals would create a million lasting jobs - not ones dependent on cheap fossil fuels or financial bubbles. We want skilled jobs in public services, renewable energy and low carbon industries. We would nurture small to medium enterprises to encourage domestic manufacturing and local agriculture."

THINK YOU KNOW THE GREEN PARTY? THINK AGAIN.


  

Greens are committed to justice in society and for the environment. The huge cuts the Con-Dem coalition have imposed are a major threat to social justice and unnecessary. We're fighting the cuts across the country but the threats to the environment continue.
