Michael Andrew Newton

Green Party candidate for Forest Hall

Green Party

I am a lifelong environmentalist whose principles have aligned closer and closer to those of the Green Party as I have grown older. Becoming a father has really reminded me of my responsibilities to other people and their environment too. I firmly believe that I must act as an example to others for making positive change. As a pharmacist I am continuously involved in improving public health and acting for others in the first instance. I have applied this same operating procedure to my political life also. The injustices of modern British life are a sin and I have always been passionately involved with various homelessness charities to try to make a difference. I want to live in a society that is a little kinder, a little fairer and a little cleaner every day, and will work tirelessly towards that end.
