Green Party's 2017 Manifesto Explained in Four Minutes

The Green's 2017 Manifesto isn't actually that long, but most people wont' bother reading it. So I'll sum it all up really quick, then you won't need to read it.

[hellothere]

As a young person, my values align the most with this party. It's gonna be tough but hopefully there will be more green mps in the house of commons.

[benfarmer-webb]

I agree with the vast majority of their propostions. It's a shame they never get more than a few MPS

[ashlefts]

If i can’t have corbyn may have to switch over to the Green Party

[alfiebrookfield]

Decent these like didn’t have a clue on them before

[skillfuldabest]

Green Party = 🍉 green on the outside, red on the inside.

[naomicopelandDNA]

It all starts somewhere and I plan to use my business and personal social media platforms to get this message out there.

[trinitypompeo]

One day I really hope we elect in the greens,

Freedom of Movement is unsustainable for the UK; we simply don’t have the land to build the required homes and infrastructure for the numbers of EU foreign nationals that want to settle here. We all know what happens to a boat when the captain overloads it with passengers, so why don’t the Greens have the foresight to see what can happen to the UK?

Accepting countless numbers of foreign nationals will place greater strain on the UK’s resources. More people means more new homes, roads and supporting infrastructure. It means developing more of our green spaces – robbing nature of its natural habitat and driving species to extinction. Accepting Freedom of Movement is unworkable but if you disagree then answer this: assuming 250, 000 foreign nationals are added to the UK’s population each year, how many square miles of land will the UK lose to development over the next 25 years to facilitate this growing population? The Green Party should know the answer to that question but they don’t; I can only assume they are either naive and foolish or they don’t give a damn about the UK’s wildlife.

If they weren't so hell- bent of EU subservience, I could bring myself to vote for them. The EU is awful for the environment. It forces small companies out of business with overregulation, meaning food and goods get transported further. The EU parliament moves to Strasbourg once a month at great taxpayer expense, and huge damage to the environment. Their furious shouting against Brexit puts off most voters who voted for Brexit. I can never understand why the Greens, of all parties, are so pro- EU.

[AllenOflynn-fcof]

I'll be voting Green at the next election, I was a member of the Labour Party but starmers dropping of policies has turned me off Labour, expect more people like me .

[MR-bhie]

Free Everything, regulate more, fck the economy but massivly Increase spending.... what could ever go wrong...

[teal]

The green party sounds like the socialist party

[PianoFreak]

It all sounds great...if we had an endless amount of money😂...

[SquirrelKnight]

Some of their ideas are good, however most of them are either shit or impractical. Do they know rich people have legs...

[trevermcdonald]

Britain is a world leader in combatting climate change but that’s not to say that we have done everything we can, far from it.
We all want to see our world become a cleaner place, using natural power and renewables but we can’t do it unless we have a strong economy. Only a strong and robust economy will allow us to invest in new technology and develop them for the betterment of all. If we look back in history we see that when Britain was the most wealthy nation on earth, it was Britain that led in both science and technology, the first modern sewers, piped water, new medicine’s, rail network etc.
a Japanese study found that Britain had provided over fifty percent of the worlds major inventions with the USA coming in second at about 25%, the rest of the world sharing the remaining 25% Britain is great, we are just not supposed to say it anymore.

There's was a lot less in there that I thought I would agree with. The Lib Dems had much better green policies.

[amira]

Honestly this is better than conservatives

[fireballxl]

I am a member of the Green Party and the Lib Dems, I live in a true blue area so feel the Lib Dems are the other party with a change of getting in,
Also do not Agee with a lot of the Green policy's.Would like to see the Green Party team up with the Lib Dems to form a real alternative to the Torys.

[sabrinasky]

only got half way through this before deciding there is no way I would vote for this, terrible party, no way, they are a waste of money.

[wacka]

well i want a toilet made of solid gold but its just not on the cards is it ?
