SIR – In this election the Green Party will be fielding more candidates than ever before and is keener than ever to challenge the big three parties. There’s little to choose in policy terms between Labour, Conservatives and Lib Dems nowadays, and a huge proportion of the electorate feels disillusioned by all three. The Green Party is offering an alternative based on compassion and caring with a sound, modern economic policies.

You can’t cut your way out of a recession. We need government investment to create jobs and protect public services. We need to protect the NHS from the privatisation schemes favoured by Labour, the Tories and Lib Dems. There must be no short-sighted cuts in education or health or social services. There must be a new vision for a more stable, better balanced economy that doesn’t depend on unreliable investment bankers.
