About Your Green Candidate

David was a teacher and youth leader before retraining in Environmental Management. Since then he has managed a lottery funded project to promote local economic development through community action and has written plans for sustainable local business. He has served on the SCVO Policy Committee and Credit Union Board and is currently National Alliance Coordinator for health charity ASH Scotland.

David will work to:

take the Green message about a need to avert climate disaster to the heart of government;
replace UK troops in Iraq with a UN peace keeping force, and ensure non-violent solutions to future conflicts;
help community and cooperatively owned businesses and banks, by reforming tax and regulatory barriers to success;
help farmers produce wholesome food for local people;
introduce a universal Citizen’s Income to help pensioners and those on low income.

David says:
“Hurricane Katrina has shown the sort of disruption future climate change could cause. The knock-on effect on oil prices and the world economy shows just how insecure we have become in the face of nature. We need to act NOW on climate change.

“The people of Livingston can make a huge impact on our level of preparedness by voting a green voice into Westminster. I will dedicate myself to promoting both environmentally sound and positive, life-enhancing solutions.”
