Vote Mikey for Glasgow NorthEast
Mikey is standing as a truly independent candidate in the Glasgow NorthEast By-election formerly held by disgraced MP and Commons speaker, Michael Martin, who for his work, has been elevated to the House of Lords.
Mikey will bring some straight talking back to Parliament, and is calling for all MP’s to be billeted in Big Brother style state owned accommodation and an end to second homes. This will sort out the ones who are really in it for the people.
Mikey will also bring back real energy into the constituency and fight for community projects and safe places for kids to play, a concern of many parents Mikey has spoken too.
