Green Candidate For Henley By-Election

The Oxfordshire Green Party has re-selected Mark Stevenson as our candidate for the forthcoming Henley by-election. In the 2005 General Election, Mark was the only candidate other than Boris to improve his party's share of the vote. He is a parish councillor (Dorchester Parish Council), and he also ran in the 2001 election in Whitley against some guy named David Cameron.

Sid Phelps, Chairman of Oxfordshire Green Party, said "With Mark, you see Green politics in action. His projects have helped invigorate the local economy, have improved recycling and environmental awareness in his parish, have encouraged local food production, and he has championed a local vision on planning issues. We believe he would make a great MP for South Oxfordshire."
