| Shahrar Ali and his opponent Dawn Butler |
Shahrar Ali was recently elected make deputy leader of the Green Party of England and Wales.
Shahrar contested the seat in 2015 and stood in the London Assembly, European and local elections.
Speaking earlier today Shahrar Ali took on the neo-liberal parties and promised something radically different:
He said:
"The People of Brent have been let down time and time again.
From
the closure of libraries and A&E wards to the privatisation of
schools and council services -- all the main parties are responsible.
From
the displacement of communities from social housing to the eviction of
families due to the bedroom tax -- all main parties are responsible.
From
the assault on civil liberties from arbitrary raids to the deplorable
tactic of racist van slogans -- all main parties are responsible.
It is high time for change of the political order.
I have a track record of fighting the people of Brent's corner year in year out.
More
and more people are coming round to our way of thinking -- and doing --
for a long-term, sustainable way of living. Politics doesn't have to be
looking after number one. It can be about the common good for all,
including the species we share the planet with and what we
leave behind for our children's children.
As
MP for Brent Central, I will fight for everybody's right to a decent
life - education, health and meaningful work - and an economy that
doesn't shortchange the planet every time we buy more than we need.
The
Green Party is on the rise. As recently as 2012 we were knocking on the
LibDems door. With Sarah Teather out of the race, and the LibDems in
meltdown here more than anywhere, we are the main challenger to Dawn
Butler and
Labour-sheen policies. Out with the old politics, in with the radical."
