Now is the time to Vote Green. After huge gains in the recent local elections here in Shepway and across the country, we are seeking to go one step further. As the old, traditional parties collapse, so there is desire for much more positive, inclusive, enlightened politics. We need a fairer society and a liveable planet. That can only happen through bold action to cut carbon emissions and protect the environment. This action starts at the ballot box.
Please support our candidate, Georgina Treloar – she has a real chance of success but only with your vote and your help. She was elected as a district councillor in May’s local elections with an impressive winning margin and has been a force for positive change here, alongside her five fellow Green district councillors, since then. She is confident that the district’s strong and unprecedented Green vote will translate to general election success.
She says: “People are waking up to the climate and ecological crisis. They’re ready to see a transition to a truly equitable society and environmentally sustainable economy, something the Green Party has been championing for decades. My role as a district councillor has given me an excellent insight into local concerns, not just about the environment but the many difficulties people face living their daily lives.”
This year the Green Party not only won record gains in council elections, but it grew to over 50,000 members and gained two million votes in the European elections. That’s two million demands to tackle the climate emergency.
Our climate action is unparalleled. Caroline Lucas MP co-founded the Green New Deal. This empowers communities to be sustainable, supplying investment to achieve net zero carbon by 2030, creating jobs and homes and vastly improved public transport.
Global challenges need a revitalised Britain. We’ll address the underlying causes of Brexit; the division, the inequality, the spiralling bills and food banks. The only fair way to solve Brexit is a People’s Vote.
This country needs Green leadership like never before. Where Greens lead, others follow.
Georgina says: “Elected Greens work hard for their communities. If you genuinely want a breath of fresh air and are disillusioned with the major parties, vote Green. We’re seeing a lot of greening of agendas across the political spectrum thanks to grassroots activism, but there’s only one party you can trust to stay true to its values.”
