Katie Parker Independent for West Suffolk describes what it is like to be an independent candidate for West Suffolk in the upcoming general election.
The challenges for an Independent candidate are unbelievable, from campaign management to social media officer. Without any of the budgets and being bullied from opponents because they know they can get away with it.

An honest alternative to a broken status quo
To be frank, Britain is broken, UK politics are broken and people feel disengaged, apathetic and seriously lacking in hope. In fact, people are angry. It’s my hope that if we all come together we can create meaningful change and make a difference ourselves.
We have an unfair two party system with zero choice, and I don’t believe anyone is going to change it for us. As a former Town Councillor, my knowledge and experience is plentiful. I believe people are entitled to a choice, not just more of the same with a different coloured rosette.
“She started because she is sick of the two regular parties lying to voters, change is in the air, and realistically independent candidates are an honest alternative to a broken status quo.”
Katie Parker Independent for West Suffolk
Please support me to stand for West Suffolk in the GE later this year. My professional background is in addiction, domestic abuse and i’m a single mum to two boys.
I understand what it is to struggle, to overcome difficulties and I don’t accept that this is as good as it’s going to get.
I believe in a fairer society, treating all fellow humans with respect, respect for our environment, that no one in this Country should be hungry.
