The best set of policies of any party by a mile. You have my vote
Vote green
I also love that the leader of the greens is young enough to appreciate voting and suits. He will be a super leader of this country.

@@arghydoodles1921 look up Rosa Koire
Co-leaders...
I will be voting Green
But,
- Please make more robust arguments for wind. Farage shouldn't have had an easy a time as he did in the Seven Leaders Debate.
- Regarding Farage - don't try to take him head on - find out what both Reform and Greens have in common: The need for PR/ supplementary voting, and (hopefully) a love of the English and Welsh countryside and its nature.
- Don't write off nuclear - if at least for optics, it still largely achieves our aims (Yes, I am aware of the arguments against)
- Critique and call out Labour's nationalisation plans further. Are they really going to be properly state run and state owned?
Good luck in the election
@@AndiWard
Considering Tories are going to be sending a few tens of migrants off at a time by plane to Africa - that can't be great environmentally lol
But, please explain your point further? I admit Greens are weak on immigration, but no party is perfect.
The environmental case for immigration is important, however. People will seek to move en masse if regions of the planet become less suitable for settlement, farming, working etc.
And the UK's ability to handle migrants only works if we are well-off financially - I don't think the Tories are delivering on that. Reform might be correct in suggesting that migrants themselves are a cost to the economy - but besides that, I believe many of the Green's policies would make the country richer and run more efficiently in the long run.
@@AndiWard Sure, this may be so - but we environmentalists should really be aware of what future Africa might hold. We need to prepare for when African countries are developed too. Sure, they might not use as much energy on heating as Britain (perhaps cooling), but they will demand more electricity, more processed foods sourced globally, more transport etc. We need to prepare for a developed planet and factor that into our own plans.
As for migration from Europe - Had we stayed in the EU, we could have had Polish workers with similar carbon outputs instead of Indians and Nigerians - surely not what the Brexiteers really wanted, but a predictable outcome we now see nonetheless.
We also need to consider why we care about the climate. As sad as it is to see animals go extinct, the main concerns are that Billions of pounds of property damage will occur due to flooding in the Amazon, or that millions throughout India will find it difficult to work in such humid conditions, or that food prices in the west will increase because the places we import from are suffering droughts - so while being better off might mean people emit more greenhouse gasses, we also want to avoid the climate situations *because* we put human wellbeing centre-stage.
@@AndiWard I'm not disagreeing with you - although if we ought to plan for all humans to live in a developed country, and want all humans to live in a developed country, then in the long run it is neither here nor there.
Whether a Nigerian is in the UK or in a developed Nigeria, the difference would then be negligible.
So, while I don't disagree with your point, we do nonetheless need to prepare for the outcome in any case.
@@AndiWard I did earlier mention heating - and I guess in that regard, sure, they'd use more energy here.
Fortunately heating really is something the UK could do a lot better with better insulated homes, electric heating, and electricity generated from renewables.
There's no reason why we shouldn't have 0% carbon output for home heating.
@@AndiWard Even if the population froze today, a few extra houses in circulation would be good, while I admit the problem is more varied than total housing stock (e.g. the sell off of council homes).
You also need to consider that a migrant will be moving from a house in their country to one in the UK. So we are not comparing houses that don't exist to houses that are well insulated - we are comparing migrants homes to British homes (Cases will vary). As I was talking about the difference being heating, and that we could heat our homes with minimal carbon output, then it is not such a problem that the UK is colder than Nigeria.
But sure, you are probably correct to an extent. Either way, there is probably not a party besides Reform that would be more cautious about building on environmentally important land (And Reform probably don't care much about a woodland's carbon capture, but they would supposedly lower migration). I think it would be unlikely that the Greens would build on woodland.
I’m not old enough to vote yet, but I am a member of the Green Party/Young Greens and I will definitely be supporting them 🎉
Thank you for giving me and many people hope for the future.
If you know someone who doesn't vote, and there are far too many of them, please ask them if they would vote on your behalf.
I say this even though I support Reform UK, because we need people like yourself to be involved in politics.
More people didn't bother to vote (15,553,935) than voted (13,966,454) for the Tories at the last general election!
Good luck 👍
What's their policy on immigration?
@@DavidZ4-gg3dm They want to make a fair system where immigration is controlled. (This means no illegal migrants, of course). They will also accept migrants as British citizens, which, in my opinion, is one of the very few things that the Conservatives have done throughout Rishi Sunak’s career as PM. In fact, he treats them more like British citizens than actual British people ! So I don’t believe that either immigrants or the people of Britain should have supremacy, and this is my liberal side coming out right now, there should be equality. There should be equality in sex (gender, I should say), race, religion, et cestera. However, one thing that I think should be done differently is that the government should focus on homelessness before they start to welcome migrants. I know that that may sound right-wing, which I most certainly am not, but, if you think about it, over 300,000 people are homeless, and over 100,000 households being temp accommodation, with over 60,000 children living in them. There is some of the Green Party’s immigration policy and, along with that, my views on migration and homelessness.
@@everest9707 thank you. May I ask why you support reform?
i will be voting Green Party.
wasted vote
@@xsm5525 that's what labour wants you to think.
@@xsm5525 vote swapping?
@xsm5525 Labour are driven by polling data and only chase swing voters. Currently they are chasing Tory voters
Want to know how we can build a new demographic of swing voters that Labour will have to listen to?
@@xsm5525That’s not a wasted vote at all, Labour are going go win for sure anyway ( poll predict 99% chance ) so why not vote for the party you believe in most, I certainly will and plus it is helping the Green Party increase, Green supporters have already gone from 1 in 50 people to 1 in 20 people, hopefully they might ever win in a future election😊.
GO GREEN 🌍🌿
Gooooooo Greens
When I am the legal age to vote, I will support the Green Party based on its manifesto and how it truly wants to protect Britain from the true threat that is destroying the heritage and land. By serving my country, I will be voting for the Green Party
I'm a long time Labour voter, but I'm voting Green this time. Labour are going to win anyway so each Green MP is more valuable.
I'll gladly be voting for the Green Party for the first time in a general election!
Sorry to hear this
Gaza has dominated the thoughts of millions of people across Britain but there's been hardly any mention of it during this campaign, which is why I didn't know where the Green's stood on this issue until recently. This makes me wonder how many others are still in the dark. The Green Party needs to take a braver stance by raising more public awareness of their support for Palestinians, or it risks losing seats though voter ignorance.
Why would that be the most important issue in the UK?
@@DavidZ4-gg3dm And where exactly did I say this is "the most important issue in the UK"?
@@PMMac-l2n The Green Party is against war in general. Four generations of my family have served in the British Armed Forces, for who? For people like Nigel Farage who got rich with contracts made during the Iraq war.
I like the Green Party because they seem to be truly representatives to protect Britain and not by attacking immigrants or something else but actually will protect the heritage and land from corruption and cooperations that are destroying this country.
@@Adam-rp6vf I totally agree with you. I wrote to Carla after posting my comment and I received a wonderful long and detailed reply back the next day, and so my vote will be 'green' on Thursday.
@@Adam-rp6vf protect the heritage by importing millions of migrants lol
Today, I voted Green for the first time.
💚💚💚
Just waiting for the Alu akbar !!
are you on drugs?
I've voted Green for 15 years and will continue to do so. Thank you for just explaining your policies without reducing everything to attacks on other political parties and "the others". 💚
Please say "we will" rather than 'we would'
Lmao they say that because they are chatting bollocks
they won't be able to form the government though, it will be labour, that's why they use "would" rather than "will". the greens will act as the pressure group from the left if elected to parliament to drag labour to the left again.
You have my vote 💚
Hope you do well and exceed expectations.
I wish I could vote green, but where I live its not a contender, red or blue is my choice and I'd rather cut off limbs that vote blue. On the other hand I'm hoping you get enough seats to try to influence labour towards PR, something that's hugely popular within the Labour party, with PR I think the green party would surge like crazy and politics by the resulting limitations of power and needing to reach across to other parties for support would actually be reflective of the UK, for good like the Green party, and bad for morons like Farage (who was right once last night when he spoke about PR, the rest was horrible to listen to but his points on PR could not be argued with).
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Every election I voted Lib Dems because they I felt they were the only option to get the Tories out. Always the least bad option. That always made me sigh at the ballot box, but the Greens are not just the least bad option, they are actually a good option. I come away from the ballot box and help leafleting with a smile. Actual hope in politics, who would have thought?
URGENT! Improve your audio and video quality stat! Weere a party full of young people and we all know how to edit a video.
We need Nigel Farage vote reform UK
Just like Germany needed Hitler?
The Reform Party manifesto blames immigrants for everything but overlook Carlisle. The city of Carlisle has 500% more crime than the next city and is less than 2% minorities.
Hope you guys do well
I will be voting Green because I vote on principle and not just to get another party out. At the same time I recognise that the only way things can ever change in the UK is with a different voting system. Political Reform needs to happen one day. I fear it won't. But if we want parties like the Greens to have a chance, we need a complete system overhaul!
Can't power the UK with only wind and solar. Expect more high energy prices putting business at a disadvantage
Green party are bonkers
Vote green Isle of Wight east ✊❎
Just noticed the Reform UK Policy, Increase Personal Allowance to £20,000. What are you going to raise the Personal Allowance to. ?
This is the difference between left and right wing parties. The right will cut your taxes and close the public institutions they funded, but you will now have to spend more money on health insurance than you did on National Insurance, and pay through the nose for all the other services. Same with UBI - even the Tories were talking about UBI but they see it as a way to dismantle the welfare state and replace all benefits - no more dole, no more disability. Greens would implement UBI but if you need extra help then you keep your benefits on top of that, and they'll lift the 2-child cap on child benefits.
Under Reform you'll need that personal allowance for all the private healthcare and dentistry. Greens would raise minimum wage to £15 for everyone with no separate child rate and all the buses, trains and utilities would get cheaper from being renationalised, ergo your personal allowance will go further even if they don't change it from 2023 levels.
Reform are planning another Truss disaster. How much will that add to my rent this time?
@@markwelch3564 REFORM UK have Policies to REDUCE Rent " WIN WIN " Check out the details on their site. 👍
student politics
I mean… you’ve got bacon as your profile picture… this just screams ‘gammon’
As opposed to the "sensible" politics of doing the same thing again, yet expecting a different result?
greens are way to left wing even for students lol
The Water scandal is absolutely criminal and definitely something I have been given little to trust those who have overseen it before
Rent control, social housing and nhs dentist alone would be amazing ! 😢
I keep checking Mastodon for Green Party news on the big 4 seats, ive chipped in to the campaign.
now your in power I saw your speech VERY ANTI DEMOCRATIC ,SHAME ON YOU
'mon the greens 💚
green party minus nimbyism would be a great party!
As Patrick Moore (The co-founder of Green Peace Canada) says...The Green movement are water melons...Green on the outside and red on the inside...Eco communism :(
''housing crisis'' my brother in christ you are the nimby party
Jesus Christ climate change??!!!! Hellloooooooo?????
Why the hell do you want to abolish nuclear energy? You're insane.
Please give us a speech on your victory in gaining more seats
💚
These are normal policies, in line with other countries throughout Europe. What's bizarre is the policies of the mainstream parties. I don't get how so many people can't see that?
I want the Greens to win now as I did Corbyn when he was leader of labour but the news don't allow good people a equal prospective or coverage, however even I a new supporter don't think the Green are rely trying to get out there, I don't even know who is leading the Greens and that's pretty basic.
You couldn’t be more right
What's more ridiculous is Starmer said it's defeatist to even question his economically defeatist strategy. It's like he's saying: "If you were a real patriot you'd accept more austerity actually". Absurd.
@@LukeofSmeg it's like he plans for more austerity with out saying it, do you think KS will cut taxes for the super rich who back him as well?
Because you have options like
Reform Party that is a glamorised version of Nazism, where immigrants are to blame for everything, completely overlooking Carlisle.
Sunak and the Conservatives who clearly do not serve Britain.
Labour that are similar to the Conservatives but under a different name.
Have you vetted your Candidate's more thoroughly then the by-elections?
I think increasing national insurance to those earning over 8% is ridiculous. You have people earning over like £200,000 and £1 million and yet people in middle classes end up getting more tax whereas just taxing the super rich. That is were most of the wealth of the country has gone. You have lost my vote
I hate it. I think it adds to divide and rule. There is still a belief that £50k is a high income 😫 and it really isn’t. There’s little incentive to progress in one’s career to get to 75-90k salary which is seriously hard work if you’re in education, policing or medicine. You’re losing around 2 grand a month at that point.
The £50,270 tax band needs to rise significantly, as does the lower one. At least introduce a more tiered system. 40% at that level is ridiculous
@@northwestcoast totally agree. The threshold has been in place long before we inflation and when £50,000 was a lot of money. In this day and age £50,000 is worth a lot less than when the 40% tax was good during Thatcher’s reign in the 80s. £50000 in 1987 is the same as £140,000 in 2024. Wages have not increased with inflation but the thresholds are the same
@@northwestcoast also, £50,000 now is worth £29,000 in 2005. Absolute joke that the goalposts have not been moved with inflation since wages have not increased
I would be paying the extra NI under this, and I would happily pay it, knowing that people with a lot more than me are finally paying their fair share, and that we'll have the money to fix the NHS and other services 🙂
The Greens do also support a wealth tax of 1% on assets over £10 million and 2% on assets over £1 billion plus they want to make capital gains tax brackets the same as income tax, which is mostly a tax on the richest in society.
FYI a £50k salary puts you in the top 15-20% of earners in the UK, the median salary is around £30k. You'd pay a bit more in tax but enjoy the benefits of improved public services, so that's a fair offer to give people.
Green Party 💚
Although the lead seems like a lovely person. And she held herself well in the debates. But I can not possibly vote on a one policy party. I have seen so many times people with the "green ambition" make decisions that are the least green and environmentally friendly.
One policy? How does electrification of railways, bringing back decent bus services (and hopefully trams and trolleybuses) insulating homes, investing in local councils, bringing back school gardening clubs, prioritising brownfield sites for redevelopment etc come under one policy?
I’ll be voting Green!
is it because you're an idiot ?
So being the green party would the UK have an hydrogen option for our cars and can my Toyota Yaris hybrid be converted to run on hydrogen for the future?
Thinking I'm old enough to remember when our cars use to run leaded petrol to unleaded I don't it be any different to us going from petrol to hydrogen
Leaded Vs unleaded is still petrol, so not quite an apples to apples comparison.
I am voting for public transport over car-retaining technology such as hydrogen (due to the increased efficiency)
Voting Green 💚 - a LibDem Green coalition would be amazing 🪄
Sounds good to me. Really hoping your against genocide too...???
I can tell you with all faith the the Green Party is against genocide.
Thank goodness, a party thats down to earth and ambitios!
Down to earth? Middle-class metropolitans! Where are the working class? Ethnic minorities? Rural people?
Identity politics down to earth don't make me laugh!
It is worth understanding the Green Party's stance on transgender issues, whether you agree or disagree.
Page 34 of the Green Party Manifesto states: "The Green Party supports self-ID, so that trans and non-binary people could be legally recognised in their chosen gender through self-declaration"
"Gender self-ID" means, for example, that a male can claim to be a woman and the state will grant a certificate to support this legal fiction, and permit access to women's spaces e.g. changing rooms, sports etc.
The inclusion of gender Self-ID is the outcome of the decade-long internal civil war between radical transgenderism activists in the Green Party and women's rights activists and other gender critical members. The Party has spent many years discriminating against members who voice concern about the impact of Self-ID on women, childen, and same-sex attracted people. The Party is currently being sued by several former members. In the first tribunal, on 9 February 2024, the judge ruled that the Green Party had subjected former Deputy Leader Dr Shahrar Ali to "unlawful discrimination" on the grounds of his gender critical belief (i.e. that humans are either male or female, and cannot change biological sex).
Many prominent Greens have left the Party over this issue, including Alison Teal who is standing as an Independent candidate in Sheffield Central.
The Green Party has not accepted the findings of the Cass Review.
You need more focus on wealth tax. The 1% on wealth of 10 million is toothless, and the rise in national insurance for low/middle earners is unhelpful. Where’s the ambition?!
How about 10% on 5 million wealth, scrap national insurance, and raise tax thresholds to 20k and 80k (for the 40% bracket) and tax high incomes of over £250k at 50%
More ambition needed!
With wealth taxes, the first battle is getting one implemented at all
Once you've established it's possible and the world didn't end, it's much easier to then adjust the threshold 🙂
Rainbow flag and restoring the nhs??? I dont think il be voting for that!
"How to say you hate Britain without saying you hate Britain"
so you want to privatize the NHS and see the UK turning into the US with its hella expensive healthcare??
I would vote green, however, their policies are just too ideal, we need a sensible grown up green party who can actually give us "real" policies
What are "real" policies exactly? What is not sensible or grown up about funding the things we actually need in this country like social housing, the NHS, social care?
Is "sensible" further privatisation of public services and funnelling more money into the hands of private investors while the country crumbles?
Too ideal? All it is, is the greens are the only party willing to tax the wealthy to pay for the services and change we need.
@@munchketteit's wierd how much overlap there is between "real, sensible" politics, and "taking donations from vested interests" 🤔
My only concern is that you say you will not tolerate Antisemitism. Criticising Israel or going against genocide inflicted on Palestine is considered Antisemitism. Both Labour and the Conservative Party are like Nazis because they support the ongoing genocide currently going on in Palestine and did not vote for a ceasefire when thousands of precious Palestinians were and are being brutally murdered. You say you will not tolerate Islamophobia but Islamophobia does not have a legal status. Which leaves only the Liberal Democrat worth voting for.
The Greens voted for cease fire and ban arms to Israel and have stated the distinction between antisemitism and antizionism (criticism of Israel)
the Deputy leader, Zach Polanski is jewish and very outspoken about how Israel is committing war crimes and needs to stop.
Anyone worth their salt will not tell you that antisemitism is the same as criticising Israel.
Are you implying that if you're Jewish, you have to endorse genocide?
That's actually massively antisemitic...
Green slime putting up your energy bills
What is the background music of this?
Paul mottram?
Greens are needed and a breath of fresh air. I am voting green. But They need to improve their policy on the military though hugeLy , in these times. The answer on bbc leaders debate Was not good enough. There must be some serious green thinking on defence and war. I applaud you for being the strongest Party on the destruction of Gaza / human cost.
The voices are fresh and young. I would also include in PR the more senior and well established green public voices - Jenny Jones and nathalie Bennett who serve in the lords, to show you also have wisdom, positive influence and experience.
I think that you should say Green Party policy would be rather than saying what you would do in government, which isn’t going to happen.
I think that you should emphasise that we need a different politics and ultimately PR and that the green vote, not just 4 green seats, is needed. Nigel Farage has stolen the “revolt” card.
Should change the name to Joke Party ... Andrew Neil dismantled the manifesto in 12 minutes
irrelevant man lmfao

I'm not going to blindly trust his judgement
I cant vote Green while you are against the nuclear deterrent. Especially while emperor putin is at large 🤣
Can't be used without UN approval anyway, so just a waste of money
@@soton5teve absolute rubbish. If it came to it the button would be pressed. If Putin knew he could get away with it hed do it. UN and NATO are separate entities anyway. The UN seems to have less power with every passing day 🤣
I’m against U.K having its own nuclear due to costs, we have other lives needing saving via the NHS on its knees. I would be in favour of some European coalition. I think that the greens need a robust military stately that might somewhat mirror the SNP
@soton5teve
You know that's absolute nonsense right? In a situation that would need a nuclear response nobody is talking to the UN, they would have mere minutes to make a decision
@@AndiWard Only if they lose contact with the UK. Even Thatcher famously ordered Trident not to fire in that event (via the letters of last resort) saying something like there would be no purpose in killing more people when we had already lost.
Absolutely not, that little green goblin girl doesn't have a clue.

"Right now, the UK is one of the most nature-depleted places on earth. We’ve lost 38 million birds from our skies in the last 50 years, and a quarter of all our mammals are at risk of extinction from the UK."
This quote is in the latest news from the RSPB, I always used to think that correcting this situation was part and parcel of what the Greens were all about but alas, no, you seem to be more concerned with gender id than the environment. I might be wrong, regardless I will NOT be supporting the not so Green party.
Yep how many gardens are being lost so that EV owners charge their cars next to the house. Hypocrisy
It's only because the right are weirdly obsessed with trans people that the left have had to make it a focus too. And of course the Greens care about birds, seems strange to put this quote and say they don't.
Luckily the greens are totally nuts and unlikable a losing combination
Just not anywhere outside of Oxford, Bristol or bloody Brighton... I'll be voting for you. But you guys really need to pull your socks up... its like politics is one human centipede. Labour stuffed up conservatives alongside lib dems and you guys stuffed up Labour. Your not as different as you need to be... and I think you couldve won this. But you fucked it frankly. So it will be labour, followed by reform. Great .... I'll be fucking off then. Anyone under 40 in Britain. The time to leave is now guys. Unless you're a silver spoon.
