No More Excuses: Leading Wales Green Party candidates for National Assembly elections say enough is enough.
Cuts to education, healthcare and other public services are inexcusable say leading green party candidates at the launch of South Wales Central campaign.
The Wales Green party today announced it's regional list candidates standing for the National Assembly Elections in May 2016. Amelia Womack, Deputy leader of the England and Wales Green Party and lead list candidate for South Wales Central, said at the launch of the campaign that this May, voters can make history in Wales.
“ There are no more excuses, Labour have under delivered for too long. It’s time to get a green voice in the Senedd; We’ve already seen what a difference Greens can make - whether that’s in Scotland, Westminster, or in councils across the UK. We have seen Greens inspire, and we’ve seen them push for social and environmental justice.
Coming from outside the Cardiff Bay bubble, Greens aren’t afraid to say what we think. We will be a radical voice within the Assembly, unafraid to challenge what’s wrong and pioneer what’s right. We’ll be holding whoever is in power to account, ensuring we can build a Wales that has people, the environment and our common futures at the heart of it. And we will ensure that words are turned into actions."
Other candidates standing for election for South West and Central regional list are.
Chris von Ruhland who said;
“The £1.5bn cut in Welsh Assembly funding from Westminster will put the Welsh NHS under considerable strain. The UK is the 6th richest country in the world yet we are facing a public health crisis. Greens in the Senedd will place greater emphasis on promoting health and wellbeing, prevention of disease and fight for equal access to health care for all”
Anthony Slaughter said;
“ There are no more excuses, housing in Wales is in crisis and our most vulnerable are paying the cost. The Wales Green Party has bold policies and the political will to ensure that warm, safe, affordable houses are available for all. This is just one area where elected Green AM’s will bring about real and lasting changes to the voters of Wales.
Hannah Purdner deputy leader of the Wales Green Party said;
“The Wales Green Party is a party of Wales, for Wales, in Wales. Welsh values are green values and I am proud to be representing both in South Wales Central. If elected Wales Green Party would stand up for all students: full time, part time, vocational, academic, young and older - for all, for the common good."
