Election 2010 party guides: Green party
Leader Caroline Lucas Campaign slogan "Fair is worth fighting for" Campaign colours Think about it Number of MPs Zero. Fielding its largest ever field with 300 candidates in 70% of constituencies Star performers Caroline Lucas is battling to make Brighton Pavilion the party's first Westminster seat; Adrian Ramsay in Norwich South could unseat Charles Clarke and Darren Johnson will run hard in Lewisham and Deptford. Achilles heel That with so many candidates, they may have spread themselves too thin. And that their leaflets get recycled before house members have read their contents. Economy Break up big banks; clampdown on tax avoidance; a Green New Deal where 80,000 jobs are created in sustainable industries. Public services Ensuring high quality local schools and ending "privatisation" through the government's academy and trust programme; healthcare (including dentistry) free at the point of delivery; ending the private finance initiative. Foreign and defence Ensure that the British military is only used in self defence and always within an international UN-led policing force; refocus the military on crisis prevention and conflict resolution. Push for binding global agreements against all weapons of mass destruction and end export subsidies on UK arms sales. Environment Increase in the energy efficiency of homes and support for renewable companies. Bringing it to the same level as Denmark by 2020 would create 200,000 jobs.
