“This is an election of shifting sands, and the outcome is not a done deal. Only one party has the strength and focus to deal with the most pressing issues of our generation – climate change and the corporate takeover of democracy - and that party is the Green Party.
“Our manifesto is a bold roadmap for positive change. From cutting carbon to investment in renewable energy, only the Greens will step forward to make our environment fit for the future.
“Young people understand the deep rooted problem of gross economic inequality, and the dire consequences of doing nothing to stop climate change. They know that decisions made today will blight their future unless courageous politicians tackle the main issues of climate change and design a future they will be proud to inherit. The Greens are that courageous political party, in fact if only young people were to vote at this Euro election we would almost definitely have Green representation from Wales in Europe.
“This election is about choice. Denial and despair or hope and opportunity, scientific evidence over profiteering and fossil fuels. We can build a brighter future. We can find solutions to the challenges that we face. “When people hear about our policies – bringing the railways back into public hands, turning the minimum wage into a living wage, scrapping tuition fees and insulating every home – they vote Green.
“When they vote Green they get Green. We don’t just highlight problems, we build lasting solutions.
“A vote for the Green Party in these elections is a vote for an economy that works for everyone, not just the richest. It’s a vote for jobs to build a life on, and a cap on bankers’ bonuses – rather than a race to bottom on wages and tax breaks for the wealthiest.
“At this election the choice is stark. You can vote for one of the establishment parties, who only offer different shades of business as usual. Or you can vote Green for a progressive and positive change. We believe that the EU can, and should, put people and the environment first. The Greens certainly will.”
