Many thanks if you voted for Julian or Kelvin. We didn't win this time but a vote for the Green Party is never a wasted vote because it sends a signal to power. The reason the Conservative candidates even mention bus services is because there are parties like ours campaigning to stop cutting services and make them accessible (ie cheaper) so we can all use them.
A vote for us will also in the long run help to bring Labour to their senses and abandon their support for the unfair First Past the Post electoral system. We need a fair voting system such as PR, and the only way to get it is to vote for paties which support it!
So please continue to vote Green!
Julian Jones and Kelvin Clayton
