Croydon and Sutton Green Party are delighted to announce that Marley King has been selected as our General Election candidate for the new seat of Croydon West.
Marley said:
“I am proud to be selected to stand for the Green Party in the area where I live.
I am proud to be standing up for my neighbours, my community, and all of those people who have suffered so much under the other parties.
Inequality has become the status quo within society, it doesn’t have to be this way, I believe in empowering others.
I want to reach out to all those people who have been treated badly by the system. All those people who don’t feel that they have a say in how things run. All of those people who have been ignored up to now.
The Green Party believes that power comes from the bottom up. Your MP should be there to represent you, not rule over you. Your voices matter and you should be heard. The green party has so many policies that could make real positive change to the lives of my neighbours.
It’s time to change the system. If you want to see that change happen then this is your chance. Make sure you are registered to vote and then go out and vote Green in the election.“
