What are the top 3 issues affecting Windsor residents?

Some issues affect us as a nation - protecting our NHS, defending the environment, and keeping our streets safe. A Conservative majority Government will put record investment into the NHS, invest £500m into a Blue Planet Fund, and recruit 20,000 more police.

And there are some issues that are local to us. Over the last 14 years as the MP for Windsor I have fought tooth and nail against a 3rd runway that would be bad for residents, the economy and the environment; fought for the Thames Flood Alleviation Scheme; and fought to defend our local businesses. You have my commitment that, if I am re-elected, I will continue to do the same.

What are your views on Brexit and how should the UK proceed with this issue?

The nation voted to leave the EU and that is what we must do, without further delay or deadlock.

Every Conservative candidate standing at this election has pledged to back Boris’s Withdrawal Agreement Bill. With a Conservative majority we will bring the bill back before Christmas so that we can get Brexit done by the end of January and focus on the other, vital issues that matter to people - like the NHS, education and the economy.

Why are you a Conservative?

It seems to me that if you care about the least well off, those in need and hard-working families, then the Conservatives are the only party that will ensure a vibrant and dynamic economy that generates the jobs, incomes and, yes, the taxes that make for a good society. I also believe that it’s better if tax rates are lower for lower earners so that they get to keep more of their money. A caring society needs a Conservative Government to generate the taxation that pays for the good quality schools, hospitals and public services that people depend on

Which Conservative policies do you think will benefit residents most?

We’re promising record investment in the NHS to keep it working for us and to protect its future. And we’re going to be boosting our economy and supporting small businesses with a range of tax cuts on business rates, jobs taxes, building taxes, and research and development. We’re introducing a Triple Tax Lock and raising the NI threshold to ensure that families keep more of their hard-earned money. And we’re pledging an additional £1 billion funding for adult social care and a guarantee that no one needing a care will have to sell their home to pay for it.

Finally, Windsor itself is a garrison town and I’m particularly pleased that the Conservatives have pledged a package of measures for veterans to improve life after leaving the armed forces.

What makes a good MP?

Being an MP is a vocation and it’s been a privilege to have served Windsor constituents in Parliament for the last 14 years.

It’s a rewarding job but a tough one. You need to be hardworking, resilient, diligent and have the courage of your convictions, particularly when fighting for your constituency. I’m proud to be standing on a Conservative manifesto that promises to do so much for Windsor and the UK.

David Buckley - Independent

Bracknell News:

What are the top three issues affecting Windsor residents?

Windsor constituents have "No home for their votes and huge division" - The main parties have represented us well, in the past. During world wars, economical recessions and periods of growth and prosperity through the ‘70s, ‘80s and ‘90s. Unfortunately, all the parties have lost their way, they are all now proposing extreme views and policies, fuelling division.

No trust in their MP - The current Conservative MP has sat above all of this decimation of our services and the division being fuelled by party politics. An example of his breach of trust was the EU Referendum: Our constituency voted to remain in the EU Referendum and our MP supported the Leave vote due to party pressure and his personal views. He should have created a by-election as his views differed from his constituents and placed it back to the people in 2016. This is a democracy, working at a local level. Then you can deal with democracy at a national level, once you have parliament sorted out by constituents’ votes.

Windsor has a lack of representation - our current MP has been seen more in the run-up to this election than the past 14 years of representation. I think that says it all. I want to offer representation to all the constituents. I will watch the backs of the constituents and gain trust back. Stop division by standing on my constituents needs no matter what my personal views are. As an Independent I cannot be swayed by party pressure and can truly represent the constituents while parliament evolves over the next 10-20 years. As an Independent, I can hold cross-party conversations to get the very best policies that become available through these future years of division.

What are your views on Brexit and how should the UK proceed with this issue?

What was Brexit? I personally saw Brexit as a protest vote from the people and were expressing many different frustrations from immigration to the economy. The people were really telling parliament "we have had enough of your poor management of our daily lives and needs. You are no longer fit for purpose, CHANGE."

The people voted for change and they got party politics playing around for three years and ignoring their calls for help and change. However my personal views are irrelevant, what is relevant are the votes of the constituents, so my view is simple. If I am to represent the constituents of Windsor who last voted to remain in the EU then I would support that position and look to rebuild the trust back on fairness and democracy at a local level, first.

Why are you standing as an independent?

I stood, as I had no home, for my vote so I had to create a home. However, I cannot really say it was that simple as I have studied politics and studied how in the last 50 years of majority governments, that they only held a minority of the electoral vote (average is 26 per cent over 50 years).

This meant that the voting system was broken and did not represent the new political landscape people are demanding. We have to create a new culture and a new political home for modern voters. I hope to help support that change by standing true to the constituents of Windsor and place party politics aside, until the culture in party politics evolves to represent all the people. Windsor can be instrumental in changing the political landscape of the UK by voting away from party politics. The true protest vote to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH is in Windsors hands by placing an Independent who cares into Parliament.

Which of your policies do you think will benefit residents most?

We have so much division in Parliament and the country. I do not believe in policies or hollow promises, as I call them, being possible in this current political landscape.

To form and create policies you need a large majority government, which we have not seen since Tony Blair in 1997. A new political landscape will evolve swiftly after this election. At the moment it is about stopping division and gaining representation for you the constituents, while party politics is BROKEN. You need support during this period of change.

Only an Independent can deliver your needs as they have no Party loyalty or pressure to keep their jobs to follow the whip. Let's think outside the box and be selfish for a short period and vote in the candidate that understands what needs to be done in a hung Parliament.

What makes a good MP?

First, you need to be loyal to your constituents and be accessible to them. As you are their representative, you need to engage with the constituents regularly to keep in touch with their needs and concerns.

Secondly, you should not forget that you are employed by your constituents and are one of the 650 people whose job it is to run the lives of 66 million people. You should not be scared to do what is best for your constituents and cannot have any party loyalties but an open mind to introduce the best solutions for your constituents. Over time you will gain experience of how parliament works and how to get cross-party agreement on the best policies for the people.

You can do this as an Independent MP as you are not held back by any Party. Putting the people before politics or your personal need or views is a good MP. Not being swayed against the needs of your constituents makes a good MP. I have heard so many stories of people entering politics with such ideas for change only to find themselves falling into the same old same old complacency without seeing it happening. This makes a bad MP. What makes a good MP is not being in a party that takes a vote from a member of your constituency and then throws the constituency under a bus. You need to stand your ground for your constituents and recreate trust in politics and stop further divisions being fuelled by party politics.

Wisdom Da Costa - Independent

Bracknell News:

What are the top three issues affecting Windsor residents?

Climate change, unfair town planning and the lack of fair cost housing for locals and key workers are three of the key issues that residents of Binfield, Warfield and Winkfield tell me they are worried about.

As a borough councillor, representing residents and struggling within the limitations on local authorities, I see the laws and government methods that need to change to improve the lives of our residents and employers.

Working with parish councils, scientists and experts I set out; nine points to tackle our climate crisis; four points on greenbelt and land use; five points on infrastructure development needed, including a low cost, green, comprehensive regional transport solution.

What are your views on Brexit and how should the UK proceed with this issue?

I offer people a unique proposition on Brexit and votes in parliament that will put voters first.

Residents can tell me how they would like to vote, using a dedicated, secure online platform at www.representingyou.org. I will also use the platform to tell them what is going on and, give them clear information, on the arguments for and against and, off course, my view.

If 2/3 of them want a different vote from me, I will vote as they ask and, report back.

Why are you an independent?

My job is to represent all residents in the Windsor Constituency, from Binfield to Windsor, to Ascot to Datchet and Poyle. The needs of residents must come first before the interests of party or political ideology; which is what party politicians focus on.

Also, candidates from political parties have to put their party before their residents; Windsor was a remain area but our MP voted leave following his leader.

I will serve people and not party on all occasions. Together, we will make informed decisions on our future.

Which of your policies do you think will benefit residents most?

My policy and practice to listen to people, support their needs, fight for what they care about and, give them the right to influence votes in parliament. I will:

· Hold quarterly surgeries locally, meet with residents groups, teachers, GPs, councillors, businesses and community leaders on an annual basis.

· Spend time with residents and local groups each week;

· Listen and talk to residents through a dedicated website designed to give them a say in votes in parliament.

What makes a good MP?

I will be one of the best ever MPs for our area because:

· I listen to people, live among them, and fight for their rights; even when it gets me in trouble

· As a councillor, I understand the constraints that need to be changed to improve lives locally

· I bring a range of skill sets and expertise from successful careers in tax and financial management, business operations and teaching and leading teenagers

· As a networker, I able to connect with the right people to help solve our problems

· I will devote time to local residents

Peter Shearman - Labour

Bracknell News:

What are the top three issues affecting Windsor residents?

We’ve been out on the doorstep every day of this election. What residents are telling us is that we need to fix the NHS and social care, education and the cost of living – whether that’s affordable housing, working households in poverty or the moral disgrace that is Universal Credit.

Hospital waiting lists in Windsor have increased 83% while Frimley Park Trust keeps missing the A&E wait time target. Schools in Windsor are £300 per pupil p.a. worse off than in 2010 – I’ve seen this first-hand as a school governor in Eton Wick. We badly need a new direction for our public services.

What are your views on Brexit and how should the UK proceed with this issue?

What is clear is that the Brexit plans we have had put before us are not good enough. May’s plan did not even receive enough support from her own party. Johnson’s plan essentially abandons Northern Ireland, putting trade borders in the Irish Sea – a plan Johnson himself described as unacceptable to any Conservative PM only a few months earlier.

We need a Brexit plan that protects employment and environmental rights and doesn’t put peace in Northern Ireland at risk. We then need to put this sensible approach to Brexit back to the people in a democratic referendum that also provides an option to Remain.

Why are you Labour?

I joined the Labour Party in 2006 after university – a curious year to join, the last full year of Blair, before Brown took over. I came to the conclusion that in the UK, the circumstances of birth matter more to your life outcomes than your own personal endeavours. This is wrong and it is these social injustices that the government should seek to correct. To do this you have to think deeply about all the different ways that injustice and prejudice manifest in society. For me, this is the Labour Party’s mission.

That and red is my favourite colour!

Which of Labour's policies do you think will benefit residents most?

Labour has an exceptional offer for the residents of Windsor. Fixing the funding crisis in the NHS. A new plan for a National Care Service to address the social care crisis. Putting dignity and respect back into public service by truly valuing our public sector workforce. A commitment to end rough sleeping and in-work poverty. For families, increasing the free 30 hours childcare to all 0-2 year olds and re-opening SureStart centres. 33% reduction in rail fares, a huge financial burden on Windsor’s commuters. And an ambitious plan to tackle climate change by transitioning our energy and industry away from carbon.

What makes a good MP?

Your constituents must come first. We’ve seen a lot of empty rhetoric on issues such as Heathrow – lie down in front of the bulldozers! It’s time for an MP that will leave no stone unturned on our behalf.

A good MP must also be available. I worked for an MP early in my career. He ran a weekly 2-hour surgery in the constituency, with 5-minute appointments, that was always full – indeed oversubscribed. You have to remove barriers to access – sometimes face-to-face is the only way people can bring issues to you rather than phone, emails & letters. If elected, I would run weekly surgeries all around the constituency.

Julian Tisi - Liberal Democrats

Bracknell News:

What are the top three issues affecting Windsor residents?

Housing is unaffordable for many here. We need more houses, built sensitively in the right locations. We need to help people get onto the property ladder - we will introduce a new “Rent to Own” model where rent payments can give tenants an increasing stake in the property.

Heathrow expansion, which I will continue to oppose both for environmental and economic reasons.

Flooding, a major risk in parts of this constituency – we will establish a £5bn fund for flood defences and climate adaption, both to improve flood defences and improve building resilience to flooding in high-risk areas.

What are your views on Brexit and how should the UK proceed with this issue?

Brexit is an act of vandalism on our economy, on the Union, a threat even to the fragile peace in Northern Ireland. The Government’s own figures show Brexit worsening our economy under all circumstances.

Take back control? Only to give it to Donald Trump, or the EU – all the rules but no say in making them. Brexit blows a hole in the credibility of Conservative and Labour spending commitments. Nor will leaving end the uncertainty – we face years more trade deal negotiations; meanwhile, businesses and living standards will suffer. I believe we must stop Brexit via a public vote.

Why are you a Lib Dem?

I believe in freedom, in trusting people, in extending opportunity to all. I believe in fairness to those in need, across generations and to our future world. I believe in looking deeply into problems and in pragmatic solutions that work rather than looking for easy scapegoats to blame.

I want to preserve the rules-based international system that has protected our peace and prosperity for 70 years. And I believe some problems – such as climate change – are best tackled internationally. These values permeate Lib Dem priorities.

Which of the Lib Dems' policies do you think will benefit residents most?

Stop Brexit. The reality of Brexit is less money and less control. Staying in the EU generates a huge boost to the economy meaning more jobs and more money. Invest in our schools, reversing Tory cuts and employing 20,000 more teachers. Invest in the NHS and deal with the crisis in social care. Our NHS plans will be paid for by 1p extra on income tax. Overall, the IFS have praised our manifesto as the most fiscally prudent of the main parties. We won’t promise unaffordable wish-lists.

What makes a good MP?

Understanding, empathy, a willingness to listen and, above all, a passion for making the world, or your bit of it, a better place. The rest can be learnt. I’ve fought numerous campaigns locally since I moved here in 2002. If you elect me, I’ll live here and commute to work, like many of you. I’ll be hardworking and available to all, irrespective of how you vote.
