It is with great joy that the Scottish Green Party have announced their biggest ever number of candidates that are standing for a Westminster election. There are 32 Candidates, including our very own Veronika Tudhope, standing in Scottish constituencies hoping that they can be elected to represent the Green interests for Scotland in our United Kingdom parliament.
On the Greens website Patrick Harvie MSP, Co-convener of the Scottish Greens, says:
“Other parties are tying themselves in knots with messages about the sort of tactical voting that represents the politics of old. With our biggest slate of candidates, Scots will have an unrivaled opportunity to vote for the bold and positive politics that only Greens represent.
Our candidates are already out and about engaging with voters on our ideas for protecting public services, reforming democracy and tackling inequality. With new members joining all the time we are determined to maintain the momentum.”
Peter McColl, Scottish Green candidate for Edinburgh East, says:
“Greens are clearly in the running as we head into an election in which everything is up for grabs. We know from speaking to our local communities that voters are looking for candidates they can believe in.My best wishes and good luck to one and all in the most exciting of times for the Scottish Green Party and the international green movement in general.
“Our policies on raising the minimum wage to £10 a hour by 2020, re-nationalising the railways and ending austerity have huge appeal, and are vital to re-balancing our economy and our society.”
