It’s possible that we will see a general election within a year, maybe within a few months. Whilst the Tories and Labour Party are in turmoil following the referendum, the Green Party offers a positive solution in these turbulent times. Whatever happens to the leadership of those parties we need a strong and experienced team on GPEx to lead us through this uncertain period.

It’s vital that we increase our representation on local and regional authorities; this is where we begin to make a difference to communities, and where we will construct a political consensus for our vision of a sustainable, peaceful and socially just society. With this in mind, I am working with the Chief Executive to inject some meaningful support into regions and local parties that will enable them to build effective and successful local campaigns.
