Candidates in the forthcoming General Election have been telling the Enfield Independent five reasons people should vote for them.

Yemi Awolola, candidate for the Christian Peoples Alliance in Enfield North, has given his reasons for people to vote for him next month.

The Christian People’s Alliance is unashamed to declare its commitment to the principle of respect for life. God values everyone equally and so every citizen from conception (fertilisation) to natural death deserves the protection of the law.

Unequivocal support for the family, Marriage is the fundamental building block of society and the safest environment for the bringing of children into the world. Supporting the family and following strong principles of good and evil, right and wrong will lead to healthy relationships and happy lives which in turn we believe means there will be less of a burden on the health service. 

Tackle child poverty by introducing new child tax allowances of £2,373 per child to all parents up to 5 per family.  The cost of this has been estimated at £4 billion, allow parents who stay at home enhanced child benefit in the early years and make zero hours contracts illegal between ages 21 to 65.

Significantly reduce NHS bureaucracy, assist doctors in making the best clinical decisions, & prescribe the best treatment from the GP upwards, we want stability in the NHS. We would impose a moratorium on Accident & Emergency and  Hospital closures, and re-configurations, unless there are evidence-based clinical reasons which have both  the support of the local population and the affected professional staff.

We will consult on introducing a turnover tax on companies such as a 5% company VAT payment so that every company that trades in the UK pays some tax and multi nationals that have the highest turnover pay most tax. Also Force companies to pay bonuses to all employees pro rata.
