Elect Jonathan Bartley as Green MP for D&WN

Aim: Jonathan Bartley has been selected as your Green Party MP candidate – the only candidate for Dulwich and West Norwood from a Remain Party.

The countdown to the General election is on! 

Jonathan Bartley – co-leader of the Green Party, climate emergency, disability rights campaigner and Leader of the Opposition on Lambeth council – has been selected as your Green Party MP candidate for Dulwich and West Norwood.

He is standing in the local area as the only MP candidate representing a party committed to Remaining in the European Union. The Lib Dems and Change UK are not standing in order to give Dulwich and West Norwood the opportunity to make history and elect London’s first Green Party MP.

Jonathan said: “I’m proud to have been chosen to fight this election for the Green Party in this key seat. This is an amazing opportunity to make history and elect London’s first Green MP. When I get to Parliament I will work hard for the people of Dulwich and West Norwood.”

Jonathan’s priorities will be:

• Pushing for a People’s Vote and then campaigning hard for Remain
• Real action to tackle the Climate Emergency
• Fighting tirelessly to reverse austerity.
  
  

We’ve launched an urgent campaign to raise funds so we can run our most effective campaign ever. We need to raise £3,000 to kick-start our campaign and hit the ground running.

While other political parties are funded by wealthy corporate donors, the Green Party is different. We’re a grassroots people-powered party, funded by thousands of people chipping in donations of £20, £50 and £100 to fund our work. 

We Can Win

At the 2019 European Elections in Dulwich and West Norwood, Remain Parties convincingly won. So the other Remain Parties (Lib Dems and Change UK) are not standing candidates so that the Remain vote is not split. This means Dulwich and West Norwood can have a MP from a Remain Party at Westminster.  This is also the chance to make history and get London’s first Green MP to represent the local area and work alongside Caroline Lucas.

Why back the Greens?

Yes to Europe

Jonathan’s position on Brexit is clear and unambiguous – Yes to a People’s Vote, Yes to campaigning for the UK to Remain in Europe. Unlike the Labour Party, Jonathan and the Greens have consistently argued for a People’s Vote and Remaining in the European Union to prevent a Brexit that will be a disaster for workers, environmental protections, and the economy.

No to Climate Chaos

We need urgent action to avoid catastrophic climate change. Jonathan delivered the first climate emergency motion in London. We need relentless campaigners like Jonathan in Westminster to force the government to live up to its promises and deliver a better future for people and planet.

An End to Austerity

The Conservative claim that austerity has ended is a sham. Schools, hospitals, public transport and local services need to be properly funded. As a local councillor, Jonathan has successfully campaigned to protect sheltered housing and bring an end to the eviction of the most vulnerable local residents. As our MP, Jonathan will stand up for the services we rely on.

My Pledge to You

“Dulwich and West Norwood is an amazing, vibrant place. We should be a beacon to the rest of the country and the world, showing how by working together we can solve the problems that sometimes seem insurmountable.

“Our area is talented, hard-working, imaginative, and kind, and these are the values I will try to bring as your MP. I’m a good listener, and I have an open mind. I care about people and I will always do my best to help.

“As your MP, I would work for you. Green MPs aren’t whipped, so my career isn’t reliant on toeing a party line. I won’t be bought, bribed or bullied into backing a leader I don’t believe in. I would be free to listen to my constituents and vote with my conscience.”

Get in touch!

If there’s something you think is missing, let me know. If you disagree, try to convince me. If there’s something you think I can do to help, or you want to tell me about an issue you care passionately about, get in touch! 

Get involved

We know that some of our supporters will not be able to give us money, but would still like to show their support. We would love to hear from you so we can keep in touch about the campaign and invite you to help in other ways such as delivering leaflets in your area, or putting up a poster. Sign up here: 

Compliance

Please ensure that you are on the electoral register as this is a requirement for donating to a political party. If you would like to pledge more than £50 then we will also need your personal contact details and address, so please email us. Any surplus funds after the General Election campaign will be used by Lambeth and Southwark Green Parties to help finance our 2020 and 2022 local and London mayoral election campaigns

Thank you!
