I have received the following request via a pro-life direct democracy site, www.wheredotheystand.org.uk:
Dear Dr Simon Platt,
I am a constituent of Preston and I’m writing to find out how you would vote on certain crucial issues.
The brief questionnaire below details hypothetical Bills. Each Bill allows for one of three possible answers: yes, no, abstain – the same three answers available to Members elected to Members of Parliament.
In each case I am asking you to declare how you would vote on the policy of the Bill, that is, whether or not you would agree with its stated aims in principle. Please respond to all questions.
I care very deeply about these issues and your answers may affect my vote.
Your answers and explanations may be published on www.wheredotheystand.org.uk. I would prefer an electronic response, if practicable.
Thank you,
I’m very happy to have been able to respond entirely positively, as follows:
Thank you for your email. I’m very happy to be able to reply to say that I am strongly pro-life. I’ve been a member of SPUC since I was 18 and have participated in many Life and SPUC activities over the years – leafletting, pro-life chains, White Flower Appeals, etc.I’m answering the questions below in the most pro-life way I can. Where proposed bills are inadequate, I’m answering them with a pragmatic view of saving as many lives as possible – that’s how I’d vote in parliament.If I am elected you can be sure that I would be a strong pro-life voice in parliament. I think I am the only pro-life candidate in Preston.You might also like to see this blog post: https://ukippreston.wordpress.com/2017/06/03/simon-platt-is-the-pro-life-candidate-in-preston/I should be very pleased if you would pass on my replies to as many people as you see fit.
My answers were given in the email and are available online at http://wheredotheystand.org.uk/t/preston/simon-philip-platt (green is good).
