Welcome to the Bristol Green Parties

Welcome to the website for the Green Parties in Bristol!   We hope you find this site informative and useful.

The Green Parties in Bristol are the local political arm of a much larger national and international Green movement. We are a growing political force promoting social and environmental justice through campaigns, non-violent direct action and the electoral process. Greens now contest elections in all parts of the country, at general elections, local council elections and those for the European parliament.

In Bristol, we will be contesting all the Bristol parliamentary seats in the forthcoming general election (most likely on Thursday May 6th), as well as standing in all the city council seats in the local elections. So wherever you live in the city you will be able to vote Green!

We are not just an environmental party. We understand that policies are mostly interlinked and have an effect on each other, so that therefore they need to be integrated. Ours are: they provide a holistic programme for a caring Green society. Over the last 30 years or so we have developed a comprehensive set of policies, from health, education, housing, and all the public services, to the economy, foreign policy, and home affairs, as well as environmental planning for a sustainable future for our world. Our policies are both national and local. At a local level we have developed a 10 Point Plan for Bristol to summarise our ideas. (This also provides a link to our national policies.)
