Croydon and Sutton Green Party are delighted to announce that Aasha Anam has been selected as our General Election candidate for the constituency of Sutton and Cheam.
Aasha said:
“We all know that politics is broken and we deserve far better. So I joined the Green Party to ‘be the change I want to see’. I want to bring integrity, transparency and ethics back into politics and I promise to be a representative that you can trust.
As a renter for 20+ years I have seen the unbelievable rise in rents accompanied by falling standards from landlords. Our commitment to affordable, secure and healthy accommodation as a basic human right will lead to affordable rents and a rental market that is fair for everyone.
In my professional life I have seen that training levels are far lower in the UK than in other similar countries. This not only holds back the UK economy and our transition to a sustainable future but also impacts the life chances for people who want to build a successful career. The Green Party’s re-skilling strategy will help us achieve real change and build the sustainable economy that will benefit us all.
The recent situation in Gaza highlighted for me the problem with too many of our politicians. I was pleased to see that right from the outset the Green Party took a stand for justice, human rights, and working for a peaceful solution, while other parties and politicans dithered and some actually supported violations of international law. We need politicians who we can trust to stick to their principles.
We deserve better than the other parties are offering and if you want better you have to vote for it. That’s why I’m telling everyone that this time you need to vote Green”
