Crime (Green Party)
- Look to establish restorative justice as a key feature of the UK criminal justice system. The primary aim will be to restore and, if necessary, improve the position of the victim and the community; the offender will be required to make amends.
- Improve the design of our cities to provide safer streets and public spaces.
- Ensure universal access to high quality youth centres to provide an outlet for young people outside of school hours.
- Bring in a Civil Law Injunction Programme (CLIP) to more effectively deal with anti-social behavior.
- Oppose any further privatisation of the prison system, as it is vital that where custody is used it is effective in preventing offenders from re-offending.
Democracy (Conservatives)
- Introduce new rules to stop central government bodies using public money to hire lobbyists to lobby other government bodies; ensure that ex-Ministers are banned from lobbying government for two years after leaving office.
- Ensure that ex-Ministers have to seek advice on the business posts they take up for ten years after leaving office.
- Rewrite the Ministerial Code to make clear that any former Minister who breaks the rules on appointments will be forced to give up some or all of their Ministerial pension.
- Establish a Backbench Business Committee to give the House of Commons more control over its own timetable, allowing MPs the time to scrutinise law effectively.
- Provide more free votes, and protecting the principle that issues of conscience - like abortion - remain subject to a free vote.
- Make the use of the Royal Prerogative subject to greater democratic control so that Parliament is properly involved in all big national decisions.
- Require public bodies to publish online the job titles of every member of staff and the salaries and expenses of senior officials paid more than the lowest salary permissible.
- Introduce a £1million fund to give financial help to people with disabilities who want to become MPs, councillors or other elected officials.
Economy (Green Party)
- This Party will implement a £45 billion investment to create 1 million jobs and lay the foundations for a sustainable and fair society. As part of this we will;
- Regulate banking and close tax loopholes.
- Invest massively in renewable energy and energy efficiency.
- Invest in public transport and in waste management.
- Create more affordable housing for rent.
- Provide free insulation for homes, schools and hospitals.
- Introduce green workforce training
- Provide decent pensions and free social care for older people.
Education (Green Party)
- We believe much smaller class sizes are the key to behaviour and learning. We want a state funded education system which; provides essential numeracy and literacy skills; promotes a sense of responsibility, confidence and respect in all young people; caters for all specialisms and needs; promotes a sense of community; and promotes a healthy lifestyle through good diet and exercise
- To measure school performance we support the abolition of the system of SATs and league tables. We would like to see a system of self-evaluation for schools, that is monitored by the local education authority.
- This Party's position on grammar and public schools means that we would remove the charitable status of all such schools and offer state funding to them so they will be accessible to all children in the local area.
- All children, even those with disabilities and special educational needs, will be given the opportunity to attend their local school, which will provide diverse support for people with special needs. In special cases and in accordance with the child's wishes, there may be a need for segregation, which will be provided as a unit within the school.
- All schools, both state controlled and privately run will be required to embrace a multi-faith perspective throughout the delivery of the curriculum.
- This Party opposes City Academies and Trust Schools as we believe that schools should be governed in the interests of children and their parents, not through private individuals or businesses.
- Recruit and retain more teachers by allowing them greater freedom and, to remove one of the main reasons teachers leave teaching, ensure their paperwork is greatly reduced.
- Students will not have to pay tuition fees - we support grants not loans, providing a basic income sufficient for needs while in full time education.
Environment (Green Party)
- Use the £45 billion investment plan to kick-start a green industrial revolution so that low and zero-carbon sectors of the economy are the new platform for prosperity.
- Transform the energy production landscape by supporting renewable sources, including wind and micro-solar generation.
- Reduce emissions from aviation by ending the £10 billion subsidy of the aviation industry.
- Reduce waste by making waste reduction, re-use and recycling easier.
- Improve public transport and rail to cut emissions from vehicles.
- Retrofit homes, schools and hospitals with energy efficiency measures.
- A massive investment in renewable sources to support development of both large-scale wind and tidal generation and domestic micro-generation - together these measures would create 80,000 jobs in the first year.
Europe (Labour)
- Work with other European partners and promote economic reform to make Europe more competitive and to secure more job opportunities for British people.
- Press other European countries to match and carry forward our commitment, as part of an EU wide agreement, to move from 20 per cent to 30 per cent reductions in emissions by 2020 compared to 1990, making this a binding UN agreement.
- Press for further reform of the Common Agricultural Policy to ensure farming becomes more competitive, sustainable and innovative, with a view to ending export subsidies.
- Promote further enlargement of the EU, including support for the entry of Turkey and Croatia as long as relevant conditions are met, and open negotiation on EU accession by 2014 for all Western Balkan States.
- Work with EU partners to achieve a global trade deal to cut tariffs and help lift millions out of poverty.
- Lead the agenda for an outward-facing European Union that delivers jobs, prosperity and global influence.
Health / NHS (Green Party)
- This Party's approach involves increasing the level of awareness of when to seek health care and when to allow things to get better naturally. It is also important to protect those suffering mental health problems from discrimination wherever it may occur.
- A key policy is to reverse the sale of NHS services and hospitals to private companies, for example we are going to bring cleaners back into the NHS team.
- We will start by promoting cycling and walking to school, which will reduce pollution and help to combat childhood asthma.
- Ensuring schools provide healthy meals will reduce the levels of obesity in children.
- We will introduce a NHS tax to make the level of funding for the NHS transparent for all. There will be the ability to increase taxation locally, if people decide, so that local NHS services can benefit directly, just as the police and schools can at present.
- We will reduce the level of spending on defence to provide further funds for health care. These changes in funding will allow us to abolish prescription charges.
- Our focus on increasing community based services and community health centres will keep care as local as possible.
Immigration (Green Party)
- We will replace existing British Immigration law with an Immigration law based on the principle of fair and prompt treatment of applicants rather than on excluding dishonest applicants whatever the cost to the honest ones. It will not aim to allow increased net migration to Britain other than for humanitarian reasons or as a result of other party policies. We will consult widely with affected groups to ensure that features of the current law which are of concern to them are addressed.
- We will allow the partners, prospective partners, immediate families and prospective families of British residents to join them without excessive delays or unreasonable requirements for proof of relationship. This will be independent of the financial status of the resident and will not be dependent on her/him providing accommodation (We recognise that this must be implemented in association with a housing policy).
- A person's right to stay will not be linked to that of partners or families but will be independent. Families will not be divided by deportation unless the deportee poses a serious danger to public safety.
- We will abolish the 'primary purpose' rule under which partners are refused entry if it is thought that the primary purpose of relationship is for them to gain entry to the UK.
- We will allow the victims of past errors in immigration decisions to come to the UK where these decisions have resulted in continuing serious deprivation.
- Migrants illegally in the UK for over five years will be allowed to remain unless they pose a serious danger to public safety.
- We will aim to ensure that UK immigration control takes place primarily at ports of entry so that no resident is required to carry proof of residence.
- We will implement a visibly independent appeal process for Immigration decisions.
Welfare (Green Party)
- Everyone to receive a basic Citizen's Income to allow everybody to make meaningful choices between paid employment, part-time work, self employment, volunteering and encourage a better balance between work and everyday life.
- Extend workers rights to part time, casual workers and the self employed. Democracy in cooperatives and workplaces would be encouraged and this Party would value and protect carers and volunteers.
- The value of those who care voluntarily for the elderly is appreciated when we see the high price the market demands for such services.
- This Party would introduce a Citizen's Pension that would pay pensioners a liveable amount, without means testing and would be linked to the rise in average earnings. Independent studies by the National Association of Pension Funds have shown that a citizen's Pension could be afforded today within current net expenditure on state pensions.
- By abolishing tax relief on private pension contributions we can save enough money to provide much of the extra funds needed.
- With a decent state pension it is unnecessary to make additional contributions compulsory.
- Voluntary private and occupational schemes organised for and by the workers and pensioners concerned should be implemented.
