Don't vote for the 'least worst' ELECTION COUNTDOWN LIVERPOOL.THE GREENS - John Coyne
John Coyne (July 21 1836 - November 16 1873) was a Canadian barrister, and Peel County's first representative in the Ontario Legislature. : "Last year, the Greens beat both Labour and the Liberal Democrats to win St Michael's ward. Now we've shown we can win at local elections, your Green vote is even more crucial. "More Green councillors will argue for free insulation schemes, to save ordinary people money and reduce Liverpool's carbon footprint A carbon footprint is the total amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases emitted over the full life cycle of a product or service. . "Elect more Green councillors if you want safer, healthier streets for our children. A 20mph speed limit on residential roads will mean fewer deaths and injuries. More of us will walk to reach and enjoy Liverpool's green spaces. "Green councillors will demand value for money from the council. We will take a hard look at some big spending schemes and focus instead on practical measures like improved bus and train services right now. "Voters are put off by negative campaigning Negative campaigning is trying to win an advantage by referring to negative aspects of an opponent or of a policy rather than emphasizing one's own positive attributes or preferred policies. . Greens want you to vote in a positive way. Challenge the currently elected councillors to do better by voting to show the strength of Green support around the city. Your vote can and will influence how the council behaves in the next two years. You don't have to vote for the 'least worst' party any more." |
