Why the Green Party?
“What drew me to them originally was how they were the only ones who took seriously issues such as climate change, social justice and opposing the creeping privatisation of the essential public services that my grandparent’s generation had fought so hard to build.
I had become disheartened with the way other parties approached these matters so the Green Party was the natural logical choice. I joined up as a full member as part of the 2015 pre-election surge. Then one day attended a Green Drinks social event, the following weekend I was out door knocking as part of the election campaign. I felt right at home from the very start and loved the sincerity everyone possessed, and how everybody worked so hard to get things done”
