I have decided to stand for MEP because it has now come to light to the general public, that certain problems could have, and should have, been avoided, including the waste crisis and overzealous planning changes, rural decline and housing shortages.

These changes were not notified to the public when required and what should have been progressive change is now expected at a very fast rate. To this end, younger people are required to adopt policy to suit the general public, whose concerns are not being met with flexibility by the present political structure.

As an Independent Green I can implement change with knowledge of people's concerns and more assistance from the European Parliament, as I have a keen interest in all the environmental and social problems we now face.
