Meet Duncan Enright- The Man Taking On David Cameron In 2015

October 6, 2014

I spotted this on Reddit and I think he deserves our full support.

My name’s Duncan Enright and next year I will be standing for the Labour Party in Witney. The constituency is currently held by the UK’s Prime Minister, David Cameron.

A sitting Prime Minister has never lost his or her constituency before, so we are attempting to make history.

But the main reason we are doing this is because we think Mr Cameron’s policies have damaged the UK. He has cut funding to vital services and cut benefits to those most in need, while at the same time reducing taxes for the richest.

Mr Cameron has represented Witney for the last 13 years but achieved next-to-nothing in that time to benefit the area. We still have problems with congested roads, a lack of affordable housing and a lack of jobs in the area – most require a commute to Oxford. And nothing has changed during his 13-year tenure.

Yesterday we launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo.com. We think we may be the first Parliamentary campaign ever to try and raise money this way. Please visit: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-us-to-kick-out-cameron-in-2015.

We also think I may be the first Parlimentary candidate from a major party ever to try an AMA on reddit.

So, without further ado, Ask Me Anything!

Edit: Proof it’s me: https://twitter.com/duncanenright/status/518775742067654656

Edit: Thanks everyone for your questions. I hope I got to yours, but apologies if I didn’t. I was delighted to get so many questions, and by their range. Mostly polite too! I will be doing more work on internet policies and censorship! Oh and chorizo, brie and beer. I was at this for four hours, but it felt less – went really quickly! I hope you’ll follow the campaign and do get in touch if you can help (particularly our fundraiser on Indiegogo!)
