Stephen Morgan endorsed by More United, putting the country first before party politics

By 23 November 2019No Comments

Stephen Morgan has been selected by More United as an ambassador of political fair play following his consistent choice to rise above mud-slinging and reluctance to engage in tit-for-tat game playing.

The Labour candidate has the support of the campaign group, as he seeks re-election as the MP for Portsmouth South, his home constituency.

Stephen Morgan said:

“Clean honest and frank politics. That is what Portsmouth people deserve. I am glad that More United have taken into account my track record of refusing to use divisive language and backed me as a local candidate.

I am proud to be endorsed by More United, a cross-party movement making politics less extreme and less tribal. If we want to heal a divided Britain, politicians must work across party lines to come together beyond the election and put the national interest first to move the country forward.”

More United aims to crowdfund £250,000 over the course of the election and recruit a national network of volunteers who will turn out to support candidates locally. The unique model aims to elect more progressive candidates from different parties to shift the balance of parliament away from extremism and reform politics.”

Tabitha Morton, CEO of More United said:

“This election we have an ambitious plan to flood Parliament with MPs who care more about the country’s issues than party tribalism. MPs who care more about compromise than their own careers.

By coming together to back these candidates who will work to find common ground, put country above party, and raise the bar in Parliament, we can build a better politics.”
