John Wiseman launches bid for NEC from GRA

Opening statementThe John Cruddas and John McDonnell campaign's taught me one thing, if there is any sense in the world both of these great campaigners should be in leading positions in the party. That is why we are suffering. I hope to bring the centre-left and left together in this campaign and show that young activists, trade unionists and PPCs can make a difference to the future of our country. I want to see the implementation of the temporary workers directive. I want to see the removal of all anti-trade union legislation. I don't want to see the building of more nuclear power stations for my daughter's generation. I want to see peace in the world, Obama to win the democract presidential nomination, the immediate withdrawl of troops from Iraq and be brave enough to say so. I would like to see one national minimum wage of at least £8.00 an hour, yes getting rid of poverty pay for our most vunerable people. I would like to see more investment in pension eg the immediate introduction of the index link. More care home investment from councils not less, less privately run. I would say most importantly an end to the PFI, PPP in our schools and health service. I have had to go through a PFI. The reform agenda needs to be about more Government direct investment through an increase on taxes for people on more than £80,000 a year and this money invested into our NHS, schools, climate change research eg renewable technology. I would like to see the retention of council housing. I want progressive ideas at the top of the party including reform of donations, more money from the unions and affiliates. Support me! You want an end to private donations and the re-affliation of unions that have left us as well as others that could affliate including the NASUWT (now with a political fund) and the NUT (I am a shop steward) (voting on it now), support me! Lets make sure that Gordon knows that this party's grassroots have a voice, vote for change. I am on the Union National political Committee, Regional political committee, a clp Secretary, NEC of the cooperative party and actvists. Nominate and vote for John Wiseman the democratic and grassroots choice. The parliamentary selection system has took power away from the clps. We want change!
