Statement to voters

Climate change is the crisis of our generation and as with any other crisis it will hit the poorest hardest whilst the wealthiest are protected. I believe that these injustices must not be allowed to continue. I joined the Green Party because they offer an alternative which prioritizes the environment and an end to increasing social injustice. During my time working for a well known international conservation charity I've seen the impact of climate change and the importance of working internationally to protect the environment. Theresa May called this snap election in an attempt to build support for her hard Brexit stance. We need to show her that the British people are not supporting her in this reckless position. A vote for the Green Party in Basingstoke will show that you want an NHS funded by public money not to profit corporations; support for young people and the education they deserve; a referendum on Brexit when we know what the terms are; a fair rental market with homes fit to live in; and investments in renewables so we have clean air, rivers, parks and gardens and a sustainable future for everyone.
