“The Green Party is the only major political party in the UK that is committed fully to a life based on democracy and justice within the planet's limits.”

“The Green Party has always dared to be different - and we’ve always known the power of good ideas. Birmingham has aspirations to tackle climate change, but candidates from the other parties lack the desire to implement the changes needed to transform this city.”

“Unlike others, we know that our planet has environmental limits, we understand that not everyone wants to live to work, that inequality is not just unfair, but damaging to everyone in society. And we have the bold solutions which allow us to offer inspiration in this age of uncertainty. ”

“Birmingham should lead the way, trialling Universal Basic Income, transforming existing housing stock into zero carbon homes and building homes and neighbourhoods for a very different future. There are many opportunities to be taken, but we need to start looking forward and understanding we can't go back to business as normal after the pandemic is over.”
