Green Party launches 'ambitious' election campaign aiming for at least four MPs

The Green Party of England and Wales started their general election campaign on 30 May 2024. They criticized Labour's plan as not bold enough. The Green Party wants to push Labour to be more ambitious on climate, the NHS, and housing. They aim to have four MPs for the first time. The Greens plan to have candidates in every area in England and Wales for the election on 4 July. The Green Party launched their campaign in Bristol, where they won 10 new seats in the 2024 local elections. They believe there needs to be real change for a better future. The party wants to replace long-standing Green MP Caroline Lucas with Sian Berry in Brighton Pavilion. They also want to protect green spaces and reform Nato if elected. The Green Party accused Labour of not offering the change voters want. They believe only their party can bring real hope and change. The Green co-leaders are aiming to win seats in key areas like Bristol Central and Waveney Valley. They want to show the difference between their party and Labour to attract voters. The deadline for candidates to run in the general election is 4pm on Friday 7 June. The Green Party believes that Labour's small changes are not enough. Meanwhile, Labour is focusing on anti-social behavior, and the Tories are talking about the economy. The Reform Party wants an immigration tax to encourage firms to hire British workers. The Prime Minister is enjoying meeting voters during the campaign. Labour leader Keir Starmer is facing questions about the enthusiasm for his party. The SNP leader welcomed the General Election but criticized the chosen date.
