THE Green Party has launched its manifesto for the general election - the Green Guarantee.
It contains 10 key pledges that Greens in government will adhere to - on the economy, environment, EU, NHS, education, young people, housing, a safer world, citizens’ democracy and transport.
Caroline Lucas, the party's co-leader, said: "The Green Party has big, bold ideas to create a confident and caring country we can all be proud of. That means protecting our environment for our children and grandchildren. Saving our NHS from crisis and ridding it of private sector profiteering. It means giving people a proper say on the Brexit deal, not shutting them out of the process. And it means exploring changes to our economy to make it fairer and fit for the future. Green MPs elected on June 8th can be trusted to protect our public services, fight for a close relationship with the EU and truly hold whoever is in Government to account.
"If we do end up with a Tory Government you can be sure that Green MPs will hold Theresa May's feet to the fire."The Green Party are standing in 55 of the 75 North West Constituencies in the General election - three quarters of the available seats.
Its Trafford candidates are:
Altrincham and Sale West Geraldine Coggins.
Stretford and Urmston Mike Ingelson.
Wythenshawe & Sale East Dan Jerrome.
