Green Party Mayoral Candidate

In the 2004 Mayoral elections, the Green Party Candidate was many people's second choice vote - how do you intend to turn that around this time and make yourself the first choice?

People are realising that Green policies are about so much more than the environment. We’re committed to combatting fuel poverty, getting fairer wages, improving human rights and liberties, basic democracy and, of course, challenging climate change.

 

The Mayoral election is virtually guaranteed to be decided on second round votes (to make sure of this any vote other than for Boris Johnson will help to make sure he doesn’t get 50% to win in round one). In a two-round contest, people are completely free to vote for who they want in the first round, which means if people vote Green first, their second vote will still count as a full vote n the final round.

 

So, by voting Siân 1, Ken 2, you actually have two full votes counted for the price of one, which I think is a bargain.
