We will place Green Party candidates in three constituencies, namely Swansea West, Gower and Swansea East & Neath (with Neath Port Talbot Green Party). These are new constituencies.
Peter Jones: our Green Party candidate for the new Swansea West Parliamentary Constituency – Personal Message to You
I am sure that we all agree on the importance of finally ridding our country of this appalling and disgraceful Conservative government that has done so much damage both to our public services, not least the NHS and local government, and to our international standing – Brexit and willingness to disregard international law.
However, we need financial help to deliver a strong campaign – we do not have big outside donors, companies, or unions, coming to our aid: only YOU can fund the campaign that will help us to deliver our message to voters in Swansea West, including for effective action to control climate change and to halt and reverse biodiversity loss.
So please give whatever you can to our crowd-funding appeal. Thank you.
