Yemi Awolola

Christian Peoples Alliance candidate for Brixton Rush Common

Active on State

Christian Peoples Alliance

I have been with the Christian People's Alliance (CPA) since it started in 2000 and have actively taken part in elections since 2014, I'm North London, then Reading and back to North London. Just over a year ago, I moved to Brixton to be closer to work as I have been working in the water industry in Brixton for over three years. The way the local council is run is quite unbelievable and the people of Lambeth deserves better, I don't believe in the politics of personal attacks but I sincerely believe the CPA has the best policies for the UK, but firstly, we must return the country back to God. Since we have left God out of the Schools, the work place and public spaces, we have seen unprecedented decline in all aspects of our lives, the education, economy and now the battle for ungodly ideologies. What I stand for and why you should vote for me: The family is the bedrock of any country and ours is no different, I will offer unequivocal support for the family, Mums, Dads and their children, with family friendly policies. Offering both pre martial classes and parenting class amongst other things. Protection for Mums and their unborn babies, as a country, we have seen an unprecedented increase in terminations of unborn babies about 246,000 each year in England and Wales but the after effects of those terminations are never mentioned leaving the mums to grieve and suffer in silence. I will provided trauma support, encourage every pregnancy to go to term and provide support for mum and baby regardless of what choice she makes after the baby is born. Provide shelter and a route back into work for people leaving prison in an attempt to break the re-offending cycle. Support for small businesses, I will put it place working solutions to get our high streets boarded up shops back into use, with commercial rate incentives and help existing struggling businesses to thrive in Lambeth again. I will encourage big business to pay their share of taxes .
