ANDY COGAN SAYS:’It is a great honour to be chosen as the Ely & East Cambs Constituency Green party candidate.

Full statement

As your MP I will raise your issues in parliament. I will support measures that give local communities power to say no to inappropriate developments that don’t address local needs, wants and aspirations. I will campaign to improve our public services, and to reduce the widening wealth gap between rich & poor, between young & old. I will campaign to repatriate our wealth that foreign interests who own utilities, such as Anglia Water, through privatisation and deregulation, are sucking out of Britain. I will campaign to restore our public realm and infrastructure. Together we can make Ely & East Cambs a fairer, greener and better place for us to live and work, to learn and earn, to rest and play. I say to Tories, Lib Dems and Labourites ’If you are unhappy with your party, if you are unhappy with the mainstream alternatives that offer nothing different, then lend us GREENS your vote. We come before you not to extend the failures of privatisation & deregulation but to end them.’
