What kind of a world do we want, or speaking more locally, what kind of democracy do we want in Ifield?
Democracy within a community, in theory, is one in which people have the means to participate in some meaningful way (not just putting an X on a ballot paper), and the means of information become open and clear.
The reality, in practice, is very different from the theory. People do not have the means to participate in any meaningful way and the means of information have become rigidly controlled. Let's take the first step to right this wrong - vote on May 3.
- Richard W Symonds, independent candidate for Ifield Lavington Close, Ifield, Crawley
