Comments from previous candidates...
Stephen Worrall (Liberal Democrats) High Peak
"The idea behind Simpol seems so simple yet I think it could prove incredibly powerful and you and your colleagues should receive full credit for developing it. Global problems require global solutions and Simpol could well help us get to those solutions.
The way in which the process neatly side steps the issue of countries fearing to act unilaterally is quite excellent. I have signed the pledge and thank you for inviting me to do so."
Andrew Adams (Labour) N. W. Hampshire
"I have signed up to the pledge having received several emails from constituents, thanks for promoting what is an imaginative and thought provoking effort to tackle some of the biggest problems facing the world."
Phil Chandler (Green Party) Morecambe & Lunesdale
"I have signed your pledge with delight. I very much admire the way you and SIMPOL have pursued this idea over what must be decades. It seems completely the correct way to proceed."
Darren Price (Labour) Congleton
"...as PPCs we are repeatedly advised against 'signing up for anything' for very good reasons in the most part. I see this more as a way of operating/thinking rather than a binding commitment to a specific issue or cause and therefore a little different. I'd be interested to hear anyone argue against it!"
Pramod Subbaraman (Liberal Democrats) Edinburgh South
“I really like the Simpol approach. Global problems do need co-ordinated global efforts and global solutions.”
