PEOPLE are joining the Green Party every day.

We now have more than 60,000 members, making us the third largest UK wide party.

When asked to vote for policies rather than personalities, Green Party policies consistently come out on top.

I was a member of the Labour Party until January 2014.

The real opposition in Parliament was the only Green Party MP Caroline Lucas, so I joined.

The Green Party reminds me of what the Labour Party used to be like. Labour isn't Labour any more.

There is an alternative to austerity cuts.

The Greens would scrap Trident and HS2, bring railways back into public ownership.

We would end privatisation of the NHS and stop tax dodging and introduce a wealth tax.

The real wasted vote is voting for a party and policies you don't believe in.

If you believe in Green Party policies vote Green on May 7.
