Ashley says:
It has taken over 35 years but now, after denying what The Greens have
been saying, regarding the environment and the threat that our
civilisation has been posing for our planet, all of the so called
'major parties' are now jumping on our bandwagon and profess to be
addressing the onset of Climate Change.
Nevertheless, at best, we can only hope that Brown, Cameron and Clegg
do really understand our plight and are stealing our clothes in order to get
the message across that we all now must address this most important of
issues. However, at worse, they are targeting the Green vote in order to give
themselves the extra percentage points that they need to win
forthcoming elections.
If it is the former then, at last, we may be headed in the right
direction. Unfortunately I fear that it is the latter and, given the continued
economic growth policies that the Government and the opposition parties
at Westminster continually espouse, we are being taken in exactly the
wrong direction; in which case we shall be in even greater rouble than
we are now.
In view of this, Greens will continue to promote the necessary
policies - especially with regard to planning, transport, education and
crime etc. - that will secure our long-term future.
Therefore, having promoted Green policies for 18 years now, until
things drastically change for the better, I shall continue to stand for The Party at all possible
elections; the forthcoming General Election being no exception.
So I would ask you to join us to ensure that the greatest threat that
our civilisation has yet had to face is kept at the top of the political agenda. In
other words do not waste your vote any longer.
Vote Green for a better future.
