Why I’ve left Labour and joined the Greens

January 15, 2015

I’m officially declaring myself a supporter of the Green Party. I left Labour some time ago, disillusioned by Ed’s hesitancy to argue for the radical change this country needs.

The Green Party seem to be the only mainstream political party that are properly addressing the worldwide environmental crisis, the commodification of education and the pain caused by austerity measures that have been levied on the poorest.

The party now has more members than both UKIP and the Lib Dems. It could win several seats in the upcoming general election. If it does, I believe it would shift British politics towards social justice and away from the divisive reactionary discourse both the coalition and the opposition seem to have embraced.

I joined the party a few hours ago and would encourage like-minded people to do the same. Or, if you don’t know much about them check out their website.

I recently interviewed leader of the Green Party and prolific journalist, Natalie Bennett, as part of a collection of interviews I am conducting for Warwick-based publication, The Student Journals on ‘The Future of the Left’.

We discussed the environment, renationalising the railways and getting people a living wage. Do check it out on the TSJ website.
