If you are among the many who are fed up with politicians who seem out of touch and under-delivering, you're not alone.
The Green Party hears you loud and clear.
Take, for example, our NHS, health, and social care. The Green Party is committed to defending our NHS and ensuring access to free healthcare for all.

Or consider the housing crisis. We have tangible plans to end this crisis, offering protection for renters through rent controls and an end to no-fault evictions. We want to transform the planning system so new developments come with excellent community services.
