Riad Mannan
Liberal Democrats candidate for Shephall
I wish to offer the voters of Harlow a different choice from the tired old parties. My main concerns are the poor state of our NHS, sewage in our waters, the cost of living crisis and profiteering of the big banks, energy and water companies. We need to have positive practical solutions to the daily lives of people, not the gimmicky, punch-and-judy politics of late. I believe the Liberal Democrats can offer those solutions, providing families with some relief from their daily expenses, the elderly and infirm dignity in their care and the young with hope to look forward with. The two big parties will say that a vote for Liberal Democrats is a wasted vote – but I believe that our positive policies compare incredibly well with theirs - and a vote for me will send them a message that they cannot take you and your vote for granted. I will be a strong voice and MP for you, championing your causes and ensuring things get done here. If you have always voted for other parties, I would ask you to be bold, embrace change, and give me your vote so you can get a fresh, new MP who will work hard and work diligently for you, your family and your community.
