My primary objective in standing for this role is to provide the support local parties need to grow and develop and encourage volunteers to take a closer interest in the governance of our party whilst remaining key partners in our electoral strategy.

If elected, I would seek to allocate proper resources to meet members’ training needs. I would do all I can to deliver user-friendly software and digital campaign tools from a fully funded and ringed-fenced technical/digital service. I strongly believe that canvassing software should be provided to all Local Parties volunteers as soon as possible.

I believe that the valuable work of members of the policy development team needs to be brought closer to local and regional parties. If elected, I would push for a dedicated policy development platform to be embedded in the emerging website in addition to a basic communication tool to facilitate open dialogues between local parties and across regions.

If elected and as a member of the Administration and Finance Committee (AFCom), I would focus on fostering transparency and accountability in decision-making and ensure that our party remains financially sustainable.

Deeply concerned about our democratic deficit, I am the proposer to motion A8 ” Moving forwards co operatively ” and hope that conference participants will finally have the opportunity to debate this green model of incorporation.

Further details of my work and commitment to the GPEW, please see my statement.
