Sutton & Croydon Green Party are delighted to announce that Tracey Hague has been selected as our General Election candidate for the seat of Carshalton and Wallington.
Tracey said:
“I am pleased to have been selected again to stand for the Green Party in Carshalton and Wallington. I know people in this area have really suffered under the current Government and I am standing to offer people real change and real hope for the future.
As an energy advisor I’ve met lots of people who are struggling with paying their bills, and this leads to sleepless nights and worsening health. On top of this rents and mortgages are going up and wages have gone down.
The Green Party realises that the solutions to these problems are linked. Just as one example, a mass insulation programme will not only reduce bills, it will improve the quality of housing, reduce ill health, and tackle help tackle the climate crisis. It will create jobs and put more money back into people’s pockets and local small businesses.
Just getting the Conservatives out isn’t enough. The other parties aren’t offering meaningful change or real solutions to the problems we face. The Green Party is the only one promising to take our public services back into public hands; introduce a Universal Basic Income to lift people out of poverty; and reform our voting and political systems so that they are fair and work for everyone, not just those at the top.
You deserve better than just the same old politics from the same old parties. But if you want better, then you have to vote for better. It’s time to vote Green.”
