Breaking and fantastic news (for me) - the opportunity to vote Green in a general election! There are so many reasons to be considering voting Green in the General Election next year at such a crucial time for us all. Please take time to have a look at the Green New deal policies on the Green Party's national website, see below, and if you want more information please let me know.
Here's the press release we're issuing this week.
"Halton Green Party is to stand a candidate in the 2010 general election. This is the first time that a Green Party candidate has stood in a general election in Halton.
Jim Craig, is a founding member of Halton Green Party. He was born in Liverpool, and grew up and went to school in Runcorn. He is currently a resident of Halton Lodge in Runcorn.
Jim is concerned about how much politics has been devalued over recent months owing to the expenses scandal and would like to see it cleaned up thoroughly.
He believes that the Green party has the right policies for the challenging times we face,
“Green policies help create a stable economy, jobs and a healthier and safer way of life. These form part of our Green New Deal and tackle the most pressing problems of today:
· Fixing the financial system so banks are no longer too big to fail
· Energy efficiency measures for homes, schools and hospitals to create 80,000 jobs, cut fuel bills and reduce harmful emissions
· Free social care for the elderly, improving quality of life and creating 60,000 jobs
· Creating 200,000 jobs through a massive increase in the amount of energy from renewable sources, such as wind power
The message for the general election is clear, you don't have to choose between jobs and the environment. The Greens offer the best of both worlds”.
