I'm standing to represet the working classes, as an RMT rep the main political parties do not represent the population of this country only the privileged few, people need to see the old first past the post system does not represent / reflect modern society . Buisness has corrupted politics in this country, the people need to take it back and elect people who are not driven or corrupted by big buisness and protecting the interests of big buisness.
I'm standing as a TUSC candidate because, with over 300,000 "unnecessary" deaths due to Tory austerity since 2012, and with no real opposition in sight, we are in desperate need of green, anti-cut and anti-austerity policies for the survival of our communities.
I'm standing because I'm passionate about my city and saddened with the neglect of the tory government and Labour Council leading to the path of bankruptcy and austerity, I want to stand up for the people of Bolton and Undercliffe, and the city in general against cuts and for policies that will revitalise the city and deal with poverty
