Gary’s beliefs
- “I am standing because I can’t bear to see the current political failures go on failing us all.”
- “There are so many reasons to be disillusioned with politics. Those making the decisions that affect our lives are too often concerned with blaming others and dividing society so that they can cling on to power. I firmly believe it doesn't have to be this way.”
- “Politics should be working for you and your community. Politicians should listen to your concerns: your health care, your family's education, your financial security, your safety, your High Street’s future. We need a reset and a refocus that places you and your community at the heart of the decision-making that directly affects your lives.”
