Statement to voters
- "I am Norfolk born and bred, and still live here with my fiancée and two primary school age children.
- "I was one of the first in my family to go to university, at UEA; I am Leader of the Green Party; I’ve been a senior lecturer; and for the last decade, a national charity chief executive. I am standing, not to gain power, but because I care deeply about this area and improving people’s lives. I will do what’s right for constituents and won’t be told how to act and vote by a party.
- "After 14 years of Conservative government, nothing seems to work and public services are being hollowed out. I won’t over-promise what I can achieve as an individual MP. But I can promise that I will campaign - inside and out of Parliament - to restore our public services, to ensure everyone can once more see an NHS dentist and make GP appointments, to build more affordable housing, to clean up our rivers, to invest in sustainable flood protection and to make life better for our communities."[3]
Manifesto launch
On 12 June 2024, the Green Party of England and Wales launched its manifesto:
- Millions of people in our country are feeling insecure and deeply worried about the future.
- We live in one of the richest countries on the planet, yet nurses are using food banks, our children’s schools are crumbling, a roof over our heads is all too often unaffordable, and hospital and dentist appointments are like gold dust.
- Meanwhile, the climate emergency continues to accelerate. Scientists warn that we are currently on track for global temperatures to rise by at least 2.5°C, far beyond levels at which humanity can safely survive.
- Our promise to you is that all this can change. We can create a greener, fairer country together – one in which we are all safer, happier and more fulfilled.
- It will take MPs prepared to make brave, principled choices on your behalf. And it will take the kinds of policies set out in this manifesto, for which elected Green MPs will fight hard every single day for you.
- Voting Green on 4th July is your way of showing you believe a fairer, greener world is possible – and is worth fighting for.
- Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay
- Green Party Co-leaders[4]
