Sir, – How might our votes influence our future?
We six are passionately concerned about
• peace
• community
• environment + sustainability
• equality
Peace – Replacing the Trident nuclear weapons system would cost £20bn (which could increase to £97bn over its 30-year-life) of taxpayers' (our) money. How would you spend this amount of money? How would you want your candidate to act?
Community – to educate means to bring out the potential of each individual. Is our target-driven education system valuing every child? How would you want your candidate to act?
Environment and sustainability – We believe that the UK energy sector needs a de-carbonisation target in place as soon as possible.How would you want your candidate to act?
Equality – We believe, countrywide, the state should care for all who need it. How would you want your candidate to act?
We will be voting with our hearts on May 7. We hope you do the same
