Local Green Party To Announce Election Candidates

---

Brentford & Isleworth candidate will be confirmed this weekend

 

Hounslow Green Party confirms that the candidate for Brentford and Isleworth will be announced on Sunday 15th September.

In the 2017 general election, the Green Party stood aside for Labour in Brentford and Isleworth in recognition of the unfairness of the ‘first past the post’ system and to help prevent a Tory landslide.

The party said: "Whilst Jacob Rees-Mogg lounges indolently on the government front benches Hounslow Green Party is preparing for a General Election."

Hounslow Green Party will field two candidates, one in Brentford and Isleworth and one in Feltham and Heston, and expect to be announcing the candidate for Brentford on Isleworth on Sunday 15th September, ready for the most important election for years.

Hounslow Green Party believes that a snap election will be called for later this year with Brexit centre stage. The Green Party is calling for a People’s Vote to settle the issue once and for all.

Daniel Goldsmith, Hounslow Green Party Press Officer said “Nobody voted for a no-deal Brexit. The Green Party believes that people should have a say on the final deal, including the option to remain. We are seriously concerned about the effect on our environment of turning our back on the progress made with our European friends, and the impact of irresponsible future trade deals which will undermine our democratic freedom to protect our environment, food standards and animal welfare.”

“Of course, there are other topics that are more important in the long term, with the climate emergency at the top of the list. Hounslow Green Party will continue to fight for urgent action to reduce carbon emissions.
