I don't want people to vote for me specifically, I'd like people to vote for the Green Party's policies, what we actually stand for.

Wouldn't it be great if whoever was in government embraced Green policies, our country and the world would be a better place. Sadly, that's not going to happen anytime soon, so we need to make it happen NOW!

Every Green Party policy stems from the belief that our wellbeing should not be pursued at the expense of others or at the expense of our planet. We’d work to reduce the divide between rich and poor, ensuring tax avoiders pay their way. We’d give more support to small local business, and make the minimum wage £10 an hour by 2020. We believe education should be free, at whatever level. The NHS should remain publicly funded and we’re fighting to end its creeping privatisation.

We need greater investment in renewable energy, generating income for local people whilst creating thousands more jobs. We need a better transport system with greater investment in public transport, immediately reducing fares by 10% and returning the railways to public hands. A vote for the Green Party is a vote for the common good.
