'Question Time' Event in Braughing

On 8th April I attended the Braughing annual parish meeting along with the Conservative, Labour, UKIP and Liberal Democrat candidates.

This was my first hustings and a very interesting experience. There was a good range of questions, including subjects like social care for the elderly, unemployment and devolvement of power to local communities. Many people feel that we need greater change than the three main parties are offering. The Green Party recognises this and this is why we have clear policies on job creation, protection of public services and the NHS and replacing the basic state pension with a Citizen's Pension of £170 a week.

I would like to thank Braughing parish council for inviting us all as events like this are of great value to both candidates and voters.
