The Green Party in Bristol has launched their line up of candidates for the May 2013 local elections. A sample of the twenty three green activists championing their local areas gathered outside City Hall, where their nomination papers have now been submitted.
The Greens have seen a rise in popularity in Bristol politics in the last year, with Daniella Radice overtaking the Liberal Democrat vote in Bristol West in the recent mayoral elections, and Cllr Gus Hoyt being asked to take a place on the cabinet. The Greens are confident about winning more seats in the coming elections.
“The Green vote in Bristol is growing because we offer the only credible alternative to the big three political parties,” said Rob Telford, Green candidate for Ashley ward. “2013 is the year that we can state loudly and proudly with our vote that we want a Green Bristol!”
“People who stand for the Greens are local people, who are active on local concerns and have principles that aren’t dictated to us from above. What unites us is that we believe in honesty, transparency and respect for people and the planet,” said Daniella Radice, Green candidate for Bishopston.
Anna McMullen, Green candidate for Easton ward added: “Greens across Bristol have a track record of standing up for what matters, like our recent fight to protect Bristol’s homelessness prevention fund. We are activists who are willing to speak up to protect public services, oppose the cuts, and make sure local voices get heard.”
