About Max

Draft: this biography is carried over from the old site and needs updating.

Max Buckland has lived in the area since 2000, and has worked as a carer since 2018. He remained working throughout the pandemic, whilst also studying history at Anglia Ruskin University, where he successfully completed a Master’s degree in 2023. Max continues to work in the care sector, where he strives to ensure that the elderly and the vulnerable can live as well and as independently as they can while receiving the assistance they need.

Max has long identified with Green Party policies, believing that real improvement in the quality of life for all British people is achieved only through investment in infrastructure and services, but only became a member in October 2025, following the election of Zack Polanski and the bold new direction the Greens are taking. He sees in them a party which finally addresses the problems we face instead of making excuses; one which proposes fundamental systemic changes that have been shown to work instead of endless cuts and managed decline.

In the face of rising inequality, division and far-right extremism, Max has committed to be a part of a political force that stands for unity, equality and human rights, and which is working to create a better future for us all.
