Clean Campaign Pledge
We, the undersigned pledge, in this European election campaign:
To show by our actions that politics need not be a dirty game, but can be a clean and positive activity, engaged in genuinely for the good of all
To tell the truth about what we stand for and have achieved, and about what others stand for and have achieved
To give credit to other Parties where credit is due
When asked, to tell the truth to the best of our ability about who is doing well and about who is likely to win in these elections
To promise only what we can deliver
To fight a clean, positive and honest campaign around the issues that concern the people of this region
To take money only from organisations and individuals whose motives in giving us money we do not have reason to suspect.
And any Party member / candidate found to be evading or breaking this pledge will be subject to our Party's disciplinary procedures.
Finally, we encourage voters:
To expect from us the very highest standards of behaviour, as candidates and as their elected representatives
To ask Parties operating in this region whether they have signed up to the Pledge or not, and, if not, to encourage them to do so
And to help us enforce this Pledge, by reporting truthfully to us and to the media any apparent breaches of it.
We hope by this pledge to serve as a positive example for this region and for this nation.
Signed:
Rupert Read, Norwich
Peter Lynn, Colchester
James Abbott, Witham
Marc Scheimann, Luton
Angela Thomson, Chelmsford
Andrew Stringer, Stowmarket
