The Green Party MP candidate for Brighton Pavilion today issued a challenge to all other candidates to sign up to a Clean Campaign Promise.
Siân Berry said: “Now we have the final list of people standing, I would like to challenge all the other candidates in Brighton Pavilion to agree to a Clean Campaign Promise during this general election campaign.
“Public regard for politicians has never been lower, and it is crucial that we help regain the public’s trust in the democratic process.”
Candidates taking the pledge will commit to a positive and honest campaign, to refrain from personal attacks, and to make only honest claims about their record and those of others.
Sian continued: “Voters are tired of negative campaigning, of insults and innuendo.
“I will continue to campaign on the issues that matter to local people including the NHS, sewage in our seas, renting and housing concerns, peace in Palestine and urgent climate action. I will conduct an honest campaign and not take part in any personal attacks.
“I very much hope the other candidates will immediately confirm they are also happy to make this promise.”
“If elected, I will serve the people of Brighton as an honest and independent voice, who will represent and fight for the issues that local residents care about.”
“This is reflected in my campaign, which is why I have signed up to this Clean Campaign Promise today.”
Siân Berry’s Clean Campaign Promise to Brighton:
- To run a clean, positive and honest campaign around the issues that matter to local people.
- To tell the truth about what I stand for and have achieved, and about the record of other candidates.
- To respect my opponents and refrain from personal attacks.
