Newly elected Caerdydd Penarth MS and Wales Green Party Leader Anthony Slaughter says “Green Objectives” will be the price of any support for the new Government.
As the party celebrates a historic breakthrough that saw the first two Green Members of the Senedd elected on Friday, the party is already looking at how it can achieve the key manifesto pledges it promised to voters in any upcoming arrangement with Plaid Cymru.
At the same time, Slaughter welcomed the defeat of the 'divisive, Trumpian' Reform Party.
Anthony Slaughter was elected in the Caerdydd Penarth constituency, whilst environmentalist Paul Rock was elected in the Caerdydd Fynnon Taf constituency.
Anthony Slaughter said: “We welcome the defeat of Reform and congratulate Plaid Cymru on their result – this is a victory for everyone who wanted to keep Reform's divisive, Trumpian politics out of Wales. We are a welcoming nation – and Wales needs to stay a place where everyone is treated with respect and dignity and can thrive.
“When it comes to the next government of Wales, we are open to having conversations, but no decisions have been made at this point. In any negotiations we will be looking to deliver on the Green objectives that people voted on in this election - including action to address the cost-of-living crisis, protecting our NHS, fixing the renting crisis, and restoring our natural environment.”
Wales Green Party’s key manifesto pledges include:
- Replacing council tax with land value tax paid by landlords not tenants
- Freezing rents, building 60,000 social homes and ending no-fault evictions
- Ending corridor care, addressing the mental health pandemic and putting the NHS on a sustainable footing
- Free bus fares for the under 22s, £1 for adults, more bus routes
- Extending free childcare from nine months to four years
- Taking back control of water to clean up our rivers and bring down bills
- Making sure every government decision supports climate and nature recovery
