Vote Green on May 1st

The London Elections on May 1st will undoubtedly set the tone for London for the next 4 years. It is vital that people use their votes to keep the BNP out (they’re aiming to gain possibly 2 seats on the assembly, in what would be a disaster for London), keep Boris out (he’s somehow really in with a chance of coming first) and keeping the Greens as progressive voices on the London Assembly.

I will be voting while keeping all three of those objectives in mind. For the mayoral elections, being able to express a first and a second preference means voters can vote Green without losing their chance to have their say in the almost certain Ken vs Boris battle. VOTE SIAN 1 KEN 2 on the Mayoral Ballot Paper.

As for the London List, I really hope that we increase the number of Green members on the assembly. Darren Johnson and Jenny Jones have been exceptional members on the assembly and have gained major concessions from Ken his past 2 terms. It is possible we’ll get 4 members (Noel Lynch and Sian Berry joining Darren and Jenny on the assembly) but I really hope that, at the very least, Noel will rejoin the Assembly after a 4 year absence. If you’re not going to vote Green anywhere else, HERE is where to do it: VOTE GREEN ON THE PEACH BALLOT PAPER FOR THE LONDON-WIDE LIST.

The election broadcast aired a couple of nights ago, and the youtube version of it is posted here too. Fingers crossed that voters are convinced by our message and that we’ll get a large Green vote from Londoners on May 1st in the hope that it will help keep the progressive agenda top of London’s priorities.
