On May 5th you will have the chance to elect your MP for the next 5 years. It is clear from all the polls that here in this constituency, either our current Labour MP will win, or that I will be given the chance to represent you in Parliament.

You will see in the papers and in the media the policies of the different parties. These will no doubt play a big part in deciding how you vote. However, I also want you to know what I personally stand for.

• I want a zero tolerance approach to violent crime
• I want low taxes
• I want choice and quality for parents in education and patients in healthcare
• I want a Parliament that is not a lapdog of the Government and I want Government off people’s backs
• I want pensioners to live the remainder of their lives in dignity and peace
• I want government imposed initiatives and centralisation stopped
• I want this country to be a safe haven for genuine asylum seekers, and not a soft touch for economic migrants
• I want to see an end to the un-elected, self appointed bodies that are invading so much of our lives under Labour
• In particular I want to fight and defeat the proposed Regional Assembly and the EU Constitution that Mr Blair loves so much!
• I want to see a Britain which has the self respect and pride to say, we’re the fourth largest economy in the world and under no circumstances will we give up our currency, our sovereignty and our history
