An inquisitive audience of members of the public were invited to ask questions of Kingston and Surbiton constituency parliamentary candidates, just before the recent general election. WDM Richmond and Kingston took part in the event, jointly organised by a network of local activist groups.
The audience asked questions about international development and the UN Millienium Development Goals, meat and dairy production and its influence on global warming, Trident, vulture funds, Afghanistan, Guantanamo Bay – and, whether any of the candidates had considered promoting a society in which we all worked less, earned less and consumed less….
The Kingston and Surbiton candidates were: Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat), Max Freedman (Labour), Chris Walker (Green), Helen Whately(Conservative).
