    I’m from the UK. I vote for the green party, because they’re the only party who share my values. The main things in their manifesto are:

    Protecting the environment

    Secure homes for all

    Better NHS care for everyone and better pay for NHS workers

    Better support for the elderly, disabled and children

    Bringing railways, water companies and energy suppliers into public ownership

    Wealth taxes on the very rich

    Investment in green energy

    A Charter of workers’ rights

    Bosses should never be allowed to earn more than 10x what the workers earn

    Increase in minimum wage

    Equal employment rights for everyone from first day of employment

    Make the benefit system fairer for the poor, including more livable amount of money and reform intrusive assessments

    Animal rights - ban on blood sports, end to factory farming, ban on mutilating farm animals and tiny cages

    Prevent environmental damage and regenerate nature

    All children to get free school meals

    Policies to ensure surplus food is not wasted

    Defending human rights, democracy and justice

    Right of self-identification for trans and non binary people

    end violence

    tackle hate crime

    restore the right to protest and free expression

    End arms sales to Israel and immediate bilateral ceasefire

    And many other excellent policies.

    What led me to deprogramming? Over 40 years of life experience and knowing people from all walks of life, experiencing the harsh reality of poverty and disability, wide range of reading material, and just my own personal core values and being able to clearly see right from wrong.
