Alice Hooker-Stroud, leader of the Wales Green Party is shaking up politics in Wales- and the stats prove it.

 Another strong performance from Alice Hooker-Stroud on the BBC TV leaders debate has seen social media interaction from the Wales Green Party skyrocket.

 The Wales Green Party was independently verified as the political party that won both TV leaders debates ( ITV Cymru and BBC Wales) on social media.

  Communications officer for the Wales Green Party, Kim Bryan said:

 “We are seeing a phenomenal increase in social media activity in the last two weeks and are attributing it to Alice’s fantastic performance at the TV leaders debates. Alice is a refreshing new face to politics, she is young, sassy and represents new ideas and fresh thinking. She speaks to younger voters who tend to be more active on social media sites.”

 At the BBC TV leaders debate, Alice Hooker-Stroud urged voters to vote for what they believe in.

 “Where greens have seats we see the difference they make. In Wales, we are lucky, every vote counts. If you want a sustainable and fair future for Wales then voting green on your regional ballot paper will get greens elected so that we can #shakeupthesenedd.”

 Campaign manager Dan Boyle said:

  “ We are very confident of winning seats in the Assembly elections, it has been an excellent election campaign for the Wales Green Party. Across Wales we are seeing an increase in support from a broad cross section of people. We are delighted with Alice’s performance at the televised debates. She is the right person to be leading the party to the Senedd.

 Jack Govier the party’s Social Media officer reported that in the debates “47% of all tweets about Alice were positive, 15% higher than anyone else managed. Alice was the second most tweeted about leader overall  and received the lowest proportion of negative tweets.”

To create a sustainable and fair future for Wales

 

We need Green voices in the Senedd.

 

 We will bring new ideas and fresh thinking to the Assembly.

 

We will make sure we all have a warm, affordable home  

 

establish a clean energy economy fit for our future

 

and protect our public services across Wales.

 

 

 

We will make sure that Welsh Government delivers for us all,

no matter who we are,

 

or where we live.

 

 

 

In Westminster, Scotland, Ireland and the EU elected Greens have punched well above their weight.

 

 And with seats in the Senedd, we will punch well above our weight here in Wales.

 

 

On the regional ballot in the Assembly election, you can vote for what you believe in.

 

 So, if you believe in a sustainable and fair future for Wales,

 

 Give your regional vote to the Wales Green Party.
