I returned home in 1986 and ran a guest house for twelve years with my husband before retraining to do massage and reflexology and now I am a carer and a grandmother. What kind of world do we want our children to inherit? Surely it must be one that gives opportunities to all, not just a few and a world that is sustainable and free from exploitation of people. The gap between rich and poor is widening, jobs are disappearing and houses are becoming unaffordable for a lot of people. I would press for a play area in Weaponness if elected."

General Election result 2010 |
 | |||||||
|
The Green Party came sixth out of eight in the 2010 General Election in Scarborough & Whitby with 734 votes (1.49%). The winner was Robert Goodwill (CON) with 21,108 votes (42.83%). Labour and the Liberal Democrats came second and (close) third. Green Party candidate Dilys Cluer said, "I'm naturally disappointed not to have done better, as I feel we ran a good campaign. But on the doorstep I got the message that although voters sympathise with Green policies, they were desperate to oust either the sitting MP or the Labour government and so intended to vote for one of the 'big three'. I am confident that in the local elections next year voters will swing behind the Green candidates again. "Moreover I am delighted that the Green Party now has its first MP. In Brighton Pavilion, Caroline Lucas was elected in spite of a strong Labour and Conservative campaign. I'm sure she will do her utmost not only to represent her constituents but also to persuade other MPs of the common sense of many of our policies." The next scheduled election in Scarborough and Whitby is the election for Scarborough Borough Council in May 2011. Pictured are Green Party members at the Count for Scarborough and Whitby.
