- Voting Green is positive and far-sighted.
Green politics express a positive vision of human nature and
potential. Green politics sets urgently needed reforms within longer
term strategies – not sticking-plaster solutions to last until the
next election. The way we live now is destructive, wasteful and
unjust. We must change.
- Voting Green gets the message across.
Every extra vote for the Green Party convinces the other political
parties, the Media, professional bodies and the Public that Green
politics is growing, popular and mainstream: worth adopting, worth
publicising, worth teaching, worth learning and thinking about and
worth voting for.
- Voting Green keeps the pressure on.
Every Green vote tells the other major parties that their offer of
more of the same is just not good enough. They will only develop more
coherent environmental policies as they continue to lose votes and
support to the Greens.
- A Green vote is proving to be most effective at a local level.
Green councillors are making a difference in Breckland and throughout Norfolk.
- Voting Green is a vote for greater democracy.
The Green Party' demands Proportional Representation at all
elections – local, national and European – and actively promotes
the devolution of power out of Westminster and back into the hands of
the people. In many countries with fairer electoral systems, Green
MP’s are already providing a fresh, new approach to Government –
putting people before politics.
- Green Councillors are not “career politicians”.
We are local people dedicated to working with others to build a
better quality of life for our communities.
-
Voting Green is an honest vote.
Voting negatively for the lesser of two evils is neither honest
nor wise. Less principled political parties – and Governments –
claim these negative votes as a mandate for their policies. One thing
is certain …
If you don't vote for what you really want you're
never going to get it!
- Voting Green is realistic.
The Green Party is the only Party with the political will to make
the changes necessary for the survival of our planet. The token
"environmentalism" of the other major parties – cynical
vote-catching for the most part – stands in direct contradiction to
their faith in uncontrolled exploitative industrial growth as the
solution to society's problems.
- Green politics is much more than just Conservation.
The protection of the environment includes everything from
dismantling nuclear weapons and the Arms trade to tackling unemployment,
and from shutting down nuclear power stations to improving our
schools, hospitals and public transport.
- The other parties promise you the moon. The Green Party
guarantees the Earth.
