I am standing for the Yorkshire Party because I have come to realise how badly we are let down by Westminster. Yorkshire is the most neglected region in Britain. The big two parties take us for granted and cut our public services. Our goal of devolution would see each person valued more. In 2023, public spending in London and Scotland was £2,600 greater per person than in Yorkshire. With a regional Yorkshire Parliament, we would get the same guaranteed funding as Scotland and Wales, as an equal partner in the UK. We could revolutionise our transport, have more frontline police, increase teacher-numbers and support our overstretched health and social care services. We could also invest in solar power and first-class insulation to lower energy bills, and rejuvenate derelict sites with new homes, lower rents and prices. If you want a fairer system, vote Yorkshire Party. Yorkshire deserves its fair share.
