A vote for The Green Party is never wasted.
1) Every Green vote at a General Election gives us a tiny amount of money towards paying for a Parliamentary office with staff to help us
2) Every Green vote is an indicator to the other parties that the environment is important.
3) And we win seats!

Why are some protesters given statues and some peaceful protesters arrested by police, and put into gaol by judges?
This is gross hypocrisy by our authoritarian Govt that is trying to suppress dissent.

They've been placed behind bars to expose the UK's extreme crackdown on protest.

The government are reportedly planning on moving some asylum seekers from hotels to military bases...
How about, rather than shipping a few hundred people off to military sites, we let asylum seekers work and contribute to our society and fix our broken asylum system? 🤔
