| Jeremy Corbyn with the Labour Group Leader of West Sussex County Council |
It was a surprise
when it was announced a fortnight ago that there would be a general election on the 8th
of June. Now that it is happening, I can see that gaining a mandate for Theresa
May from the country will strengthen Britain’s negotiating position as we leave
the EU. I also see the move as courageous because there was three years to run
of this five-year parliament, but where Gordon Brown failed in seeking a
mandate by not calling a general election when he became Prime Minister in
2007, Theresa May has bravely put her trust in the people to make the right
choice for our county’s future.
While this general
election was a surprise, we already have the scheduled elections taking place
for West Sussex County Council next week on Thursday the 4th of May. The County
Council delivers 80% of our local government services and who represents you is
important. If you are looking for someone to use the position of County
Councillor for your area as a political platform to advance the views of Jeremy
Corbyn for the next four years, then I would suggest voting Labour in the
County Council elections.
If however
you are looking for a County Councillor who will put their local area first, as
well as having a constructive engagement and a positive influence with the
County Council on your behalf, then I recommend voting for your local
Conservative candidate who is listed below. We are offering a strong and united
team of candidates in Crawley whose are determined to get the very best for our
town.
