Up next in our daily meet the candidate section is Beccy Cooper, who is standing for Labour in Worthing West.

The Argus (TA): What is the biggest single issue in the constituency you are standing in?

Beccy Cooper (BC): Underfunding of our local schools.

We are currently eight per cent below the national average and schools are having to consider redundancies to make ends meet.

Labour pledge to fully fund the education system and to make funding allocation fair for all.

TA: Do you believe that Brexit can bring about a positive change to Sussex?

BC: I think that Britain was stronger in Europe but the referendum result means that we must work for the best outcome possible.

In Sussex, we must ensure that our workers retain the same level of rights that they had under European law and that our local businesses have access to markets in order to be able to sell their products.

TA: Who will win this election?

BC: There have been too many unexpected results of late to say anything for sure.

I think that a Labour victory would be the best outcome for the country’s future prosperity.

TA: Who is your political hero and why?

BC: Barack Obama.

A man of incredible wisdom and diplomacy, facing the challenges of our time with humility and strength.

TA: What has been the best moment you have had out campaigning?

BC: Our weekend street stalls in and around Worthing have been great.

So many people interested and engaging with our ideas and views on a fairer society.

TA: Is this election necessary considering we already have a majority Government that was due to run until 2020?

I don’t think that it was strictly necessary but now that it’s under way, it’s a great opportunity to give people a choice and a chance for change.

TA: Can voters be confident that our current system is the best way to select a government?

BC: I am a supporter of proportional representation, but until we achieve this, our current system is the best opportunity we have to make our voice heard.
