Welcome to East Cambridgeshire Green Party's website!
ELECTION 2010: Green Party announces general election candidateSimon Sedgewick-Jell has been announced as candidate for the Cambridgeshire South East seat at May's General Election.
Simon, a Cambridgeshire county councillor, is part of the Green Party’s biggest ever campaign for a UK general election. The party is fielding a record number of candidates, with a real chance of a Westminster breakthrough.
Simon commented: "This year more than three hundred Green candidates will contest a UK general election. And for the first time ever, leading pollsters are predicting a Green Party breakthrough.” The Greens are putting the finishing touches on a fully-costed manifesto under the campaign slogan ‘Fair is worth fighting for’
Simon concluded: “The Green Party's manifesto ‘Fair is worth fighting for' will challenge the consensus among the big three parties that spending cuts are necessary. The Greens will be offering an investment package for massive job-creation to see off the recession once and for all, and we will show how to pay for it. We'll also show how to protect and improve the NHS, and how to give British pensioners the best deal on offer."
Simon has lived in Cambridgeshire for over 30 years. He is a former lecturer at Anglia Polytechnic University in history. From 1990-1994 he led Cambridge City Council. Shortly after he stood down from the council he left the Labour party sighting their shift to the right.
