Name: Sam Naz

Party: UKIP

Constituency: Richmond Park and North Kingston

Name one thing you will proactively change in the constituency if you are elected
I will fight to ensure proper funding for the NHS, to keep the NHS free at the point of delivery, to provide an NHS directed to the needs of local residents and not acting as an international health service.

What has been your proudest achievement within the constituency in the last three years?
I have been proud to work in the constituency to ensure that UKIP has its voice properly heard by the many people in the borough who look for change and a new direction in British politics.

What sets you apart from your fellow prospective parliamentary candidates?
I represent a party that stands for real change. UKIP will put the interests of the British people first. We will withdraw from the EU. We will control migration to the UK. We will cut foreign aid. We will scrap the unfair bedroom tax and inheritance tax. We will put £3bn into the NHS funded by the savings from EU membership.

What has been the most difficult conversation you have had while canvassing?
Being asked when both my parents are first generation Pakistani immigrants why I was standing as the UKIP candidate. Then explaining to them the values that UKIP believes in – hard work, thrift, education and patriotism – are precisely those of that community and the many other communities who live here and are proud to call it “home”.

Why should people in Richmond Park and north Kingston vote for you?
At each election we are told locally that if you vote one party it will let another party in. Vote UKIP and you will get UKIP. Think how the election of UKIP MPs and Nigel Farage to the House of Commons will wake up that institution.
