The thing I feel most strongly about is public scrutiny of decisions made in the public interest.

Full statement

Politicians must, first and foremost be accountable to the public for the decisions they make.
I want a fairer society, one in which we all contribute according to our ability to do so, and in which we care for one another, and our planet, as needs be. There is no need for poverty and no room for greed. No one should have excess than they need while others do not have even the basics.
We won’t bring about this better world all the while politicians are free to wheel and deal behind closed doors because we have no way of knowing what they are up to. That is what it means to me to be a democratic socialist.
