i.
what do you think is the most important issue in this election?
Sustainability i.e. people / environment / economy

ii.
why did you make the decision to stand in this constituency and for this party (as an independent)?   

To raise awareness of Green Party policies and the chance to influence issues of concern to me.

iii.
what kind of vote are you expecting on May 5th? 

Good 2nd place

iv.
aside from the vote what are you hoping to get out of this campaign?

Increase support for Green Party policies

v.
in your view what is the greatest threat to our civil liberties at the moment? 

Dwindling communities - greater lack of connectivity leads to increase fears and lack of confidence.  There is great strength,
improved health and security in united communities.

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?

NO

vii.
There is very little left to privatise in this country, if you had your way what would be brought into public hands. 

Transport

viii.
Some environmental campaigners have started talking about nuclear power as a way to bring down CO2 emissions - what do you think of this?  There are many other risks associated with nuclear power which give me grave concern, particularly the disposal of waste.

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? 

 A strategy to help refused asylum seekers get back home quickly and not leave them sleeping on the streets with no food or money.

x.
What question do you wish was on this list but doesn't appear?  None
