In the coming year we will win a controlling majority in councils around the country, including Bristol where the green party is the largest party but the city recently voted in a referendum not to be governed by an executive mayor but go to committee system.
How many campaigns have the Green Party won?
Still to win are:
Ella's law - Clean air human rights act.
In my opinion the party must become better at picking its battles and look outside of its horizon to ensure everyone is represented and that there is a clear plans for which legislation the parliamentarians put forward when they have the rare chance.
Defending the right to protest - This was a win the previous year and the government was forced to bring back some of the worst attacks as a new legislation. In the coming year some of this will come into force. We've seen people arrested for singing carols and climate activists sent to jail, and threatened with deportation.
Defending workers rights - Labour Party must be persuaded in this. Elizabeth May MP has led the way through the anti scab Bill in the Canada parliament.
Defeating the Rwanda Bill - to be continued late January
Zane's law - a priority that we are working on
Stopping fossil fuel projects such as Rosebank - It was stopped but then rescued
Campaign "wins" include
High Speed 2 is dead. It is not planned to reach Euston and phase 2 is cancelled. The Green Party is calling for a public inquiry into the management of the project.
London has now extended the Ultra Low Emission Zone, despite dirty campaigning linked to the Conservatives. Shamefully Kier Starmer has publicly criticised the Mayor.
Outer London now benefits from the bus routes we fought to save and new routes the London Loop. New infrastructure is open such as Crossrail (the Elizabeth Line)
the APPG reparations has been formed and this has been adopted by XR as a 4th demand.
Fossil fuels are mentioned for the first time in the climate change framework.
The City of Sheffield has called for ceasefire and condemned Kier Starmer. Organisations are considering openly endorsing the Green Party and have invited Carla Denyer, Ria Patel, and Natalie Bennett onto platforms (they were hoping for Caroline Lucas. locally greens have spoken and attended rallies too including a petition hand in by school strikers in Bristol which other MPs failed to turn up)
London Borough of Hackney has a policy to ban fossil fuels advertisements
