I opposed raising student tuition fees in 2010 and I oppose it now.

I feel the situation has changed greatly since then in the wake of the EU referendum and other factors. Of course, ultimately it is up to the voters to decide!

I fully support repealing both! I think the Tory government's intrusion into people's private is unacceptable in a free society. Civil liberties and the right to privacy are very important to me.

Yes. We support the legalisation of cannabis.

This is a very difficult question to answer! There are so many laws I'd like to change!

My priorities would probably be switching to proportional representation (PR) for elections, introducing stronger legislation to close the gender pay gap and enshrining into law the NHS not being privatised.

Whilst obviously the EU issue is not something that is handled at the local level, I was disappointed by the outcome of the referendum. I do however respect the result. What I don't agree with is the 'hard brexit' being pushed by the current Tory government, which entails leaving the single market. That was not on the ballot paper for the referendum, and most people I have met who voted leave did not vote to leave the single market. Therefore there is no mandate to do so currently. I also believe that leaving the single market would be a disaster for the British economy.
