We welcome the news that a date for the General Election has finally been announced. We look forward to this disastrous Conservative government being removed from office after 14 long years.
The Green Party is confident of winning more seats in Parliament and is ready to fight for seats here in Stroud and North Cotswolds, where we have strong, committed candidates in Pete Kennedy and Chloe Turner.
Pete Kennedy, Green Party parliamentary candidate for Stroud, said: “There has been a huge political shift across Stroud in recent years, and I’m campaigning to be Stroud’s Green voice in Parliament.
“Just three weeks ago, the Green Party won the most votes in the Stroud District Council election and became the largest party on the Council. People have seen that they don’t just have to choose between Labour or Conservative – and that voting Green will make a difference.”
Chloe Turner, Green Party parliamentary candidate for North Cotswolds, said: “We are offering voters hope and practical solutions to the cost-of-living crisis, supporting people into warm, affordable homes, protecting our NHS and cleaning up our toxic rivers.
“We are ready to hold the next government to account in Parliament, whichever party is in charge.”
For the first time this General Election, Stroud District will be represented by three MPs, with a small part of the south of the district – Kingswood, near Wotton under Edge, and surrounding villages – included within the new South Cotswolds constituency. The Green Party candidate for South Cotswolds is Bob Eastoe.
