Sharon Pavey – Green Party Candidate?
I’ve been asked to consider being the parliamentary candidate for East Devon for the Green Party at the upcoming General Election. As much as I’d like to think this was a reflection of how incredibly fabulous I am, it’s not…
Basically the Green Party need candidates to run for every constituency in the country. The fact is in most places they won’t stand a chance of winning BUT it’s about representation for everyone in that area who believes in true green politics and wants to get their voice heard. It will also raise the profile of the Green Party in every area where someone stands. With the next TEN years being the time we NEED to get something DONE about climate change NOW is the time to vote for your beliefs, and secure a better future for your children and your grandchildren, We CAN make a difference. We really can.
If you live in the constituency of East Devon and would like a candidate from the Green Party to stand – please pop your comments on this blog, see below. I’d love to hear from you.

Hi Sharon, as a Brighton-based Green, I hope I can encourage you to go for it. Yes, it might be hard, un-rewarding & ultimately even unsuccessful -BUT- you’re absolutely right to do it. Standing as a candidate, raising awareness for the Green Party and giving people something positive to give their vote to rather than the grim choice between Labour & Tory would be a great thing to do. I can’t vote for you – but thousands will want to… Best of luck.
Thank you Nikki, for your encouraging inspirational words. I’m seriously thinking about it, I love a challenge and I’d love to start making a difference, get off the sofa and do something my kids might appreciate when they are my age. Thank you.
@mediocre_mum on twitter says I think you should go for it….sadly I can’t vote being a foreigner!
@jackiedawks on twitter says – “I am afraid that I live just outside the East Devon area, but I think you should go for it. Make a difference.”
@LivingwithKids on twitter says – “Why not? I don’t live in Devon but I’m all in favour of people standing up for what they believe in”
I don’t live in Devon either but think you should go for it. I think it’s important to do things that we believe in. Also you might give others the courage to join in too – how many constituencies are there in total?
