Greens ramp up campaign in Sedgefield

From: Sedgefield Greens

Derek Wall joins candidate Chris Haine

Green Party Principal Speaker Dr. Derek Wall and Greens from across the constituency today converged on the market square of Newton Aycliff to show their support for candidate Chris Haine.

Derek said: "Every vote for the Green Party is a vote against war, a vote for real action on climate change and a vote for social justice.

"Tony Blair made the world a more dangerous place, voting Green sends a powerful message to protect the planet.

Derek also spoke of his support for candidate Chris Haine. A Humanist Officiant, Chris is a prominent member of the Green Party in the North East where he has been working for the past few years to raise the profile of the Greens across the region.

"Chris is an example of a dynamic new breed of Green Party activists who will bring real integrity to a campaign that will otherwise be a dreary example of the old grey politics

"Voters in Sedgefield have an unprecedented opportunity to send a message to Labour and to Westminster.

"A vote for the Green Party means a vote for politics where people come before profit, where integrity comes before political expediency.

"The Greens were the only political party consistently opposed to the war in the Iraq, from the very beginning. I believe our track record across the country on issues such as this will stand us in good stead in this election. "
