Green party: For the Common Good
Action on Climate Change
The climate is changing and presents an existential threat to humanity. We need to acton on this now. The Green Party has developed the New Energy Plan, which will not only kickstart Britain's Hydrogen industry, but ensure an expansion of our wind and solar farms. The Plan will also create training programs for workers in fossil fuel industries to be retrained for jobs in the renewable energy sector. The Green Party will pass a Biodiversity Protection Act to protect our wildlife, and a propaer Environmental Protection Act to cut down on emmissions, and will ensure a carbon-neutral economy by 2030
Politcal Reform
The Green Party pledges to introduce the Additional Member System, similar to the kind used to elect the Scottish, Welsh and London Assemblies. Such a system will ensure that each party receives the representation in parliament that is denied under the current system. A Parliamentary Transparency Act will also be championed by the Greens to ensure that all actions, votes and donations for MPs publicly accessible. As always, the Green Party stands for making the House of Lords an elected body and federalising the United Kingdom
Brexit
We cannot ignore the fact that nearly 30% of voters, as well as those under the age of 18 were not represented in the referendum. The Green Party favours a second referendum, and allowing 16 year olds to vote in it. Regardless of the result of such a referendum, the Green Party pledges to stand by the result as the final word on Britain's status on the European Union
Expanding the NHS
It is not simply enough to defend the NHS. It must be further expanded. The Green Party will fight for a massive expansion in funding to the NHS as well as the establishment of high-quality hospitals all around the nation. The Green Party will enact laws that will make any efforts to privatise such a critical service illegal. Finally, the Green party will commit to raised wages for all hospital staff. Let it be known that we stand with our doctors and nurses, and not against them.
Information Highway
The Green Party will ensure internet access to all parts of the United Kingdom by establishing a National Broadband Service responsible to the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. This will ensure high internet speeds and eas of access to all parts of the country, creating an ease of communication and far greater opportunities for learning.
