Every new member who joins the Green Par a little louder. And the louder our voice, the We are the only party fighting hard for a fairer society where the needs of people – not big business – come first. Our strong political vision doesn’t sway with the winds of convenience or bend with shifts in fashion, and unlike other parties, we don’t accept donations from large corporates or the unions. We want to see a healthy, democratic society where people can live free from discrimination, where we measure success not just by narrow economic indicators but by taking account of personal freedom, social equity, health, happiness and human fulfilment. We believe that humankind depends on the diversity of the natural world for its existence and that we must tackle the environmental challenges before us. To make sure our voice is heard we need your support. Please join the Green Party today and help us to change our world by building a more equal, more resilient society. Keith Taylor and Jean Lambert, Green Party Members of the European Parliament. Jean was voted Justice and Human Rights MEP of the year 2005.
“These are exciting times for the Green Party – the election of the first ever Green MP represents a truly historic moment. We made our breakthrough with the backing of people like you who want a new politics based on honesty, justice and fairness. Now, every new member who joins us will give us a stronger voice in Parliament.”

W I T H YO U R H E L P, W E W I L L F I G H T F O R C H A N G E I N 8 K E Y WAY S
1 Maintaining public spending on
the services that we all need. The government must invest to create jobs and ensure that we don’t fall further into another recession.
2 Building the pressure for a real
global initiative to tackle climate change. We will work hard for a fair, ambitious and legally binding agreement to cut carbon emissions and insist that Britain leads the way in developing renewable energy technologies.
3 We want the cancellation of the
planned Trident replacement. We are fundamentally opposed to wasting billions of public money on this deadly and unnecessary weapon. Nuclear weapons should have no place in Britain’s future.
4 Cutting carbon and creating jobs.
We propose a Green New Deal that will improve public transport and provide free insulation in every home. This will reduce fuel bills and create a million new jobs.
5 Protecting low-paid workers. We
will fight for a ‘Living Wage’ to ensure low-income workers earn enough to provide for themselves and their families. We’ll also fight for controls over high pay and over our dangerously risky financial services industry.
6 Fair pensions and free social care for older people. We believe in introducing a Citizen’s Pension along with free care and support for older people.
7 Giving every child the best
possible chance in life. We will work for schools to be properly funded in the public sector and accountable to parents and local authorities.
8 Protecting human rights and
stopping unjust, unnecessary wars. We will demand a progressive foreign policy and the withdrawal of UK troops from Afghanistan. Join us now! Visit
