Daniel Wilson - Parliamentary Candidate
I’m standing to be your Green Party Parliamentary Candidate in Cheltenham, where I’ve lived with my family for the past seven years. The Greens have seen rapid growth in Cheltenham in recent years, gaining the town's first two Green councillors earlier this year.
I intend this to be the beginning of the Greens committing to standing in every future election in the town to challenge the two-party status quo in Cheltenham.
For too long residents in Cheltenham have felt let down and ignored by their politicians, and forced to choose between two very similar parties. But now, as people feel the full force of the cost-of-living crisis and with the climate crisis on our doorstep, it is time for serious change.
"Fighting for climate action in Cheltenham!"
The Green Party has the ideas to tackle these crises, calling for a nationwide home insulation program to cut bills, a move to renewable energy to lessen dependency on gas and oil, taking energy suppliers into public ownership and cutting the energy price tariff to deal with the huge cost of living crisis we all face this winter. The big solutions are there, but we need the government to step up.
People from all political parties are turning to the Greens because they know that we work for their community and don’t take their support for granted. I will stand up for local residents in Cheltenham and shake up the tired old “Conservative vs Lib Dem” story that has dominated politics here.
