Hello and Welcome to My Election Blog!
My name’s Stuart Macdonald and I am prospective Parliamentary candidate for the Green Party in the Witney constituency.
The environment has traditionally dominated Green interests. This is no time to reduce environmental concern, but Green policy now covers the complete political spectrum. There is a Green housing policy, and education policy and crime policy, and Green policy on just about everything else. What distinguishes Green policies from those of other parties?
- fairness and decency
- democracy, especially local democracy
- appreciation of the need for genuine change, not just a re-packaging of the same old remedies
- a determination to raise issues the others would rather avoid.
A Green approach puts fairness first. We are concerned with putting Green values into daily practice, with ensuring that such local practice becomes policy – not the other way around.
