Statement from Martin Dimery, Green Party prospective parliamentary candidate

9 July 2022

I am honoured and delighted to have been selected as the Green Party's Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for the Somerton and Frome Constituency. I'm very grateful to all those Green Party members who voted for me as their candidate.

In the past seven years or so, support for the Green Party has grown considerably in the constituency, notably in Frome, where we now hold 4 of the 5 Somerset Council seats.

Green votes have also increased across this very large constituency, returning several district, town and parish councillors in recent elections. The Green Party is offering a new, dynamic and positive approach, at a time when many are disillusioned and dismissive of conventional party politics.

With an agenda to address climate change, the cost of living crisis and the challenges facing the economy, Green Party policies could not be more important or relevant.

I welcome the opportunity to campaign for the Somerton and Frome parliamentary seat and respectfully call for the current MP David Warburton, to acknowledge his circumstances and stand down to precipitate a by-election. We deserve full and committed representation.

Martin Dimery
