i.
what do you think is the most important issue in this election?
Public services
ii.
why did you make the decision to stand in this constituency and for
this party (as an independent)?
because the Green party is the only mainstream party that doesn't
have a neo-liberal economic programme and would halt privatisation
of public services
iii.
what kind of vote are you expecting on May 5th?
enormous
iv.
aside from the vote what are you hoping to get out of this campaign?
elected
v.
in your view what is the greatest threat to our civil liberties at
the moment?
Charles Clarke
vi.
Blair has taken us to war three times since coming to power (not
including the occasional ad hoc bombing raid) in the Balkans,
Afghanistan and Iraq. Can war ever be justified?
Military action in defence of something cherished can possibly be
justified - lying about the reliable nature of intelligence material
so that British soldiers and innocent Iraqi citizens died is not
justifiable.
vii.
There is very little left to privatise in this country, if you had
your way what would be brought into public hands.
Green Party has a well known policy of renationalising the
railways and bringing a halt to PFI in schools and hospitals
viii.
Some environmental campaigners have started talking about nuclear
power as a way to bring down CO2 emissions - what do you think of
this?
it's a very selfish view that our grandchildren would quite
rightly despise us for
ix.
Asylum and immigration will be central issues in this election. What
action on this issue would you like to see the next government push
through?
Jailing newspaper editors that created unnecessary moral panics
x.
What question do you wish was on this list but doesn't appear?
Which party best combines recognition of the need for change in
global economic structures, reform of free market elements placed
into public services, polices that allow quality of life and a
healthy economy but respect for the environment, a healthy internal
democracy and a viable chance of getting broad enough support to
actually achieve progressive change within the next 20 years? Be
honest.
