About
this upcoming election and all the tactics and aims being touted as a
way of ensuring one outcome or another - in my view, NO party is getting
a majority in this election.
The people who will vote in #GE2019 are not as united as politics would like and certainly not along 'usual' party lines; we're fractured by so many issues from Brexit/Remain/Revoke to hatred/ambivelance/adoration of Boris/Corbyn and from what I see - a hung-parliament looks the most likely outcome.
In that scenario, MPs from smaller parties have more power because they can add or withdraw support that means the difference to which party leads and which policies get through. Personally - I believe a hung-parliament is a good start to breaking the predictable and ugly continuation of the 2-party system that leads to the usual rounds of promises that don't get acted on.

In THIS election - because it's now - during the most important time in
the life of our species and any other on this planet, powered by
nature... it truly matters that we MAKE OUR VOTES MATTER!
Of course getting the worst party for the planet (Conservatives - see graph) out of power is hugely important but so is getting decent MPs into Parliament and strengthening the Green Party of England and Wales because it actually gives a damn, has the answers and has a clean, clear focus on the environment - unlike ANY other party - it's what the Green Party was formed to do.
Can we afford Green policies they ask? What on earth do 'they' think matters more - breathing or spending? Besides - Green policies are quite exquisite in that they cost an awful lot but in return, gift plentiful jobs, cost savings for all of us, a cleaner, healthier environment that makes us feel better and eases demand on healthcare.. other parties think keeping a tidy balance sheet gets them the big tick of a 'well done' - Greens think no child should have 'pollution' on a certificate as the cause of death.
As Greens have shown - you drive parliament by pushing the policies that really matter. Even without true power - the Greens have forced environment onto the agenda and every elected Green has made an impact in Councils that went on to declare climate emergencies and with the sole Green MP being such an obvious influencer in Westminster.
Elect you Greens - they're good for you!
