Action on climate change and Nature
Only Greens have a record of speaking up for action strong enough to tackle the climate change emergency. We will act to ensure everyone can breathe clean air, we will act to reduces and reverse the effects of climate change, and we will create a green revolution in energy generation and transport infrastructure. We’ll support insulation to make homes warmer and energy bills more affordable; we’d cut charges for small users. We want water companies in national ownership to end the scandal of sewage in bathing water, and enough support for farmers to care for nature as well as produce food.
Social Justice
Greens are passionate about building a country where everyone has a good quality of life.
Greens want to ensure that no children go hungry; and every one of us has a meaningful livelihood, a genuinely affordable home, and access to healthy food and green spaces. Good public services are essential: we want a decently funded, fully public NHS, enough dentists, and well-resourced schools with buildings fit for purpose.
Our community
Community is at the heart of everything Greens do.
Elected Greens are members of the community first and foremost,; Greens aren’t funded by fossil fuel companies and billionaires. We support participatory democracy and and will always act for the common good. 800+ Green councillors already work with community groups, to consult communities on decisions affecting them, and try to ensure that council committees are transparent and records are available to the public. Nationally we want a proportional voting system where every vote counts, and the numbers of MP’s reflect the number of votes for each party.
