The launch of the Change UK European election campaign in Bristol yesterday was a welcome sight for all of us fed up of the way politics are being conducted in this country. Most people, myself included are exasperated as both the Conservative and Labour Parties have abandoned reason for the ideologues of left and right.
We face a crisis as we leave Europe and regardless of the outcome Labour and the Tories have shown that they are incapable of acting in the interests of the country or the British people.
The foundation of Change UK whilst still very much in it's infancy has begun the process of establishing something new, something modern with a mission to create a new politics.
A small but useful start has been made by co-operating with the Renew Party who issued the following statement:
The Renew Party was delighted to announce that a number of its candidates will be running under the Change UK banner in the upcoming European elections on May 23rd. Renew leader Annabel Mullin (London), June Davies (Wales), Heather Astbury (Scotland) and Joshua Malkin (Yorkshire and the Humber) will all be standing next month.
Renew’s brilliant shortlist of candidates across the country will help to shore up the pro-European vote in opposition to the Brexit-supporting parties, whilst providing a strong platform for future electoral successes.
Renew leader and candidate for London, Annabel Mullin, said:
“In working with our friends at Change UK, Renew has proven that we are prepared to do politics differently. All pro-European voices must leave tribal party loyalties behind if our vote is to be as strong as possible in May. Now is the time to be working together. With this alliance, we are doing just that.
