Oliver Snelling

Communist Party of Britain candidate for Deptford

Communist Party of Britain

Are you sick of seeing the rich get richer while the rest of us struggle to make ends meet? Are you tired of mainstream political parties turning a blind eye to war, injustice and the decline of working people’s quality of life and public services? As a proud resident of Deptford, I have experienced firsthand the challenges facing the people of our constituency. I have fought to organise better conditions for workplaces, joined actions to resist deportations and evictions and campaigned in solidarity with Palestine. As your candidate for Lewisham North, I want to stand with you in order to fight for a better quality of life, defend our communities and stand up for what is right. Although I am standing in this election to be your voice, I believe that we must campaign for the needs and aspirations of working people every day. I believe that where people get organised and fight, we can win. I am proud to be a member of the local campaigning Communist Party in Lewisham. Vote for me, your Communist candidate, and send a message to mainstream politicians that we need radical change today!
