Take action locally

Politicians are likely to be attending events in your constituency, in order to try and keep their seat next time.

Here are some ideas for questions you can ask:

Question 1: Tax havens

“The fact that companies and rich people can hide their money in tax havens costs Britain billions every year, and costs poor countries even more. What would you do to tackle the tax havens and make sure that everyone pays that the taxes they owe, so all countries can continue to invest in vital public services – rather than more profits for the super rich?”

Question 2: Robin Hood Tax

“A ‘Robin Hood Tax’ of just 0.05% on International Financial Transactions could raise billions to tackle climate change and poverty. Do you back this idea?”

Question 3: Climate Change

“According to the Global Humanitarian Forum, Climate Change kills 300,000 people every year, mostly in poor countries.  Scientists say we need a cut in CO2 levels of 40% by 2020. What would your party do to stop further climate change and ensure sufficient funding for adaptation and mitigation in developing countries, without  resorting to offsets?”
