Gita Gordon for Blackpool North and Fleetwood

The reason I am Contesting as an Independent Candidate.
PUTTING PEOPLE FIRST in 
BLACKPOOL NORTH AND FLEETWOOD

DEAR RESIDENTS

I  am GITA GORDON. 

I am pleased to announce that I will be running as an independent candidate for the Blackpool North and Fleetwood constituency in the upcoming General Election on July 4th. 

 I have made this decision based on the realisation that MPs do not have the ability to prioritize their constituents over their party's agenda.

 Blackpool, with both its constituencies, is a unique town with its unique concerns. The tailor made one size fits all policies applicable to the whole of England does not, and will not work here. Only an Independent candidate can fearlessly speak up and fight for the Constituency and I am the only candidate that matches the criteria. 

When speaking to voters, I hear that they feel trapped in a two-party system with limited choices. The public is exhausted by the constant drama and poor governance of the Tories over the past 14 years. The handling of Covid-19 only further demonstrated their self-serving motives.  

I understand the disappointment and lack of trust in the current political parties. It is important for voters to have faith in their representatives, and I believe that my personal connection to Blackpool and my experience working with the community make me a strong candidate to address the concerns of the people in our area. I am committed to serving the needs of Blackpool residents and working towards positive change for our community. 

I am committed to representing the needs and concerns of the constituency. I will work tirelessly to ensure that your voices are heard and represented in decision-making processes. 

My aim is to bring positive change, accountability, and transparency to the position. I believe in working collaboratively with community members and stakeholders to address pressing issues unique to Blackpool North and Fleetwood. 

I have lived and worked in Blackpool for more than 22 years. My husband has lived and run a small business all his life since the age of 17 years! My children were born here, attended school, and worked here locally before going into further education. 

I started work in Blackpool North as a care worker, worked in various residential and nursing homes here, attended Blackpool College and University. I have worked with age concern (now age UK) in Blackpool, worked with local authority social services, Youth Offending Team, and voluntary organisations. I have firsthand knowledge and experience of the revolving door concerns of people here and I have successfully helped resolve them too. Blackpool Gazette noted my award-winning performance on the British Heart Foundation public health Project run by the Blackpool Victoria Hospital in 2012. 

Blackpool North and Fleetwood Constituency deserves a committed and compassionate MP who understands the people’s needs and values. It deserves an MP who listens to the people’s problems and helps find solutions.  

I have worked with the NHS Trust during the Covid Pandemic, as a nursing associate trainee. In 2021 I too fell ill and struggled to survive, I was almost lost to the system in the pandemic chaos and had to rely on financial assistance and food bank due to an error in my salary calculation. That was a lesson to me about the pain people go through during hardships. It was a valuable insight into the ongoing cost of living challenge that is causing distress for many of us.  

An MP who advocates for proper funding of local services, increased investment in healthcare, and support for local businesses is needed. The wasted resources could have been used to protect essential children's services and more, leaving many residents speechless. The dumping of sewage into the sea and the emission of harmful gases from the landfill pose serious health risks. Blackpool and Fleetwood need such an MP to speak up about these issues and I am the only independent candidate who can do so without any fear of party politics. 

I will use my work experience and knowledge to tackle issues in the constituency and will demand a better deal for the people. It is time to set right the wrongs for the past 14 years. Blackpool has suffered the most in comparison with other constituencies. 

I pledge to be a positive, committed, and transparent representative if you elect me.   

I intend to show that there is a forward-thinking option priortising the constituents. If you would like to support my campaign, please visit
