The Green Party will launch its election manifesto, at the Hotel Metropole in Brighton, on Thursday morning.
Attending will be our three target candidates: our leader, Caroline Lucas (candidate for Brighton Pavilion), our deputy leader, Adrian Ramsay (candidate for Norwich South) and Darren Johnson (candidate for Lewisham Deptford).
The Green Party is running in over 300 constituencies around the country (a record for the party in its 30 year history), and it is also running a full slate of general election candidates in London (for the first time ever).
The key policies in our fully-costed manifesto for the general election are:
We will fight for a fair deal for those needing health care by opposing cuts, closures and privatisation and by demanding a full programme of locally accessible services. We will also fight to restore free dental care and provide everyone with the choice of an NHS dentist
When markets fail, government needs to step in and get the economy working again. You just can't cut your way out of a recession. Greens believe that public spending cuts would harm the economy. It would impact on jobs - and hit the poorest hardest. That's just not fair
Unemployment is skyrocketing, and the government is doing little about it. Our major and immediate priority is fight the economic and climate crisis together, and invest in a far-reaching programme of energy efficiency, renewable energy, social housing, public transit, and home insulation to create hundreds of thousands of jobs and training places
We would ensure all pensioners receive a basic non-means tested £170 a week
The Greens would bring back into use Britain's 300,000 long-term empty private sector homes, and renovate Britain's 37,000 empty council homes to help cut waiting lists.
