Hi Chris
This is a link to the article you refer to, which I think sums up nicely what the differences are between the Green and Labour Parties:
https://leftfootforward.org/2018/02/come-and-join-the-green-party-an-open-letter-from-jonathan-bartley-to-owen-jones/I know you have suggested that a Green Party Government would lead to anarchy. I disagree! The Green Party believes strongly in individual liberty, and for me, that is the key difference between the two parties. I've explained on here before why I initially joined the Green Party. My daughter is severely disabled, but I wanted her to be in a mainstream school with her twin brother. I am a member of ALLFIE (
https://www.allfie.org.uk/) and believe that it is wrong to segregate disabled children in special schools. My daughter was happy in her local school, but the pressure I was put under by the school, professionals and the Local Authority (not Stockport) to put her in a special school was immense. I looked at all of the political parties' education policies at the time, and it was only the Green Party that supports a truly inclusive education system that would work for all children.
For me, school is the ideal place for children to learn about people who are different to themselves, and should focus much more upon building community. Indeed, a lot of Green Party policies are based upon the importance of empowering communities and creating a more caring society, within which people care for themselves, each other and the environment.
I was a doctor and I saw firsthand how so many people rely upon professionals for support in the absence of supportive community. The Green Party absolutely wants to see brilliant public services accessible to all people. Professionals have to keep their clients at arms length however and cannot form the emotional attachments that are required to improve many people's lives. This is why Community is so important.
@CllrGeoffAbell Face to face conversations do not irritate me at all. I've clarified that point already.
