Councillor Candidate
Claire Eliane Lasko

Claire Eliane Lasko

Green Party candidate for Chipping Norton

Green Party

I am an award winning producers of documentaries. I’ve worked with some of the UK’s best talent – Jamie Oliver, Kevin McCloud, Theo Paphitis and Dr David Starkey. I live in Chipping Norton and both my daughters were born here and went to local schools. This is my home. I decided to stand for Parliament for the Green Party because I believe the system is stacked up against the young and for the establishment. I believe austerity is a sham. I want to live in a society where young people can afford homes, where the NHS is treated with real respect, where people are educated and trained throughout their lives, without tuition fees and where there is proper investment in society and environment. Brexit will be a financial disaster, the young didn’t vote for it, but will have to live with the effects. I would like a second vote, when the terms are available, to confirm we do want to leave the EU.
