1 – Which party do you align yourself with, and why? (Or if non aligned, why not?)

I am labour, because I believe in social justice, equality, fairness and opportunity for all. I am also a History post graduate and teacher, and any one who studies history and has a sense of justice could never possibly vote conservative. the party who opposed the NHS and the minimum wage.

To respond to the needs of my local electorate, no matter their political views. I am concerned for our ageing community and our excellent local schools.
