Malcolm Victory selected as Green Party parliamentary candidate for West Worcestershire constituency

Malcolm Victory has been officially selected as the Green Party PPC (Prospective Parliamentary Candidate) for West Worcestershire. Sir Michael Spicer is retiring at the next general election in favour of Harriet Baldwin, so Malcolm will now be the senior candidate in the race by virtue of having fought the same battle twice before. Third time lucky, perhaps. So much has changed in the years since 2001 when he first stood for Parliament that the political landscape is barely recognisable. This is particularly true of the rise in Green politics, where all parties are agreed on the pressing need for change, but disagree about the means to achieve it. Green Party policies led the way on reducing our energy consumption to avert the potential disaster of Climate Change, yet we still do not have a single MP.

Malcolm Victory commented:“Voters at general elections normally prefer to vote tactically, thinking a Green vote is wasted. However, when one sees how the ruling parties approach the problem; sticking to growth as the key factor, and using green taxes as a revenue earner to spend elsewhere rather than on real change, and providing little or no stimulus to new technologies or assistance to householders bearing the brunt of the burden, one realises that a Green vote is very important - as a signal that they are all failing.” He said. “That is far more positive than not to vote at all, like so many disillusioned electors.”

Malcolm has lived in Malvern for over 20 years, is a company director, a director of Malvern Fringe Arts and a councillor in Malvern Wells. His wife was the last Mayor of Malvern and so he knows many councillors throughout Worcestershire.
