say no to politics as usual • Protect the NHS • Ban fracking • free education Railways in public hands • £10 an hour minimum wage • NO to bedroom tax
A PUBLIC NHS – WE WILL: • Fight for a publicly funded NHS free at the point of use and end the creeping privatisation of its services. • Make mental health a much higher priority with resources to match this status.
A FAIR ECONOMY – WE WILL:
geraldine says ... I joined the Green Party five years ago because I believe in social justice and environmentalism. As your MP I would work hard to protect our NHS from privatisation; we need a health service that works for people, not for shareholders. I want us to live in a fairer, more equal society with decent wages, a supportive, reliable welfare system and no need for foodbanks. I believe the UK needs to lead the world by taking decisive action to tackle climate change and damage to our environment.
• End austerity and restore the public sector to create over one million good jobs. This will be paid for with a wealth tax on the top 1%, a Robin Hood tax on the banks and the closure of tax loopholes. • A minimum wage of £10 an hour by 2020.
DECENT HOMES – WE WILL: • Abolish the unfair Bedroom Tax. • Build 500,000 new social rented homes and bring empty homes back into use. • Introduce rent caps and longer tenancies for renters.
I have worked as a university lecturer in Philosophy; volunteered as a breastfeeding counsellor; campaigned for maternity rights and am a stay-at-home mother living in Stretford.
• Take serious action to ensure global temperatures do not rise further.
We need to make it easier for people to live healthy, fulfilling, sustainable lives. Vote Green for a positive change to our society and our planet.
• Invest in renewable energy, flood defences and building insulation.
