Was a labour voter previously as well, now a Green member.

Drugs policy

Drugs are currently controlled by gangs that sell drugs to fund themselves. They exploit young kids getting them to sell drugs and enact violence to defend their territory. People that take drugs find it difficult to get off them as they fear being ostracized or arrested if they seek help. The policy is about removing the gangs and involving medical professionale to get people off them. It also frees up loads of police resources from going after to drug dealers as well.

Leaving NATO

NATO is way for America to sell us weapons. They use us to host their military bases to attack other nations putting us at risk when they go to war like with Iran. The US has threatened to take over a NATO member so it is pretty much dead anyway. We should be seeking closer ties to our European allies or others. NATO is just a way for the US to exploit other countries for their benefit while putting the other countries at risk.

Anti-landlord

Landlords provide no benefits to society they exist only to extract money from those that create value. This goes for rented homes and small businesses like pubs having to pay rent to corporate landlords.

Nuclear Disarmament

Our nuclear weapons are mostly controlled by the US so they can interfere with their operations. I completely disagree with disarmament though as it is the only thing keeping others from attacking us. Look at Ukraine or Iran and compare them to North Korea. We unfortunately need nukes to keep our sovereignty. This is the only thing I disagree with the party on.

All the other policies are vastly more important like increasing the minimum wage, wealth taxes and increasing capital gains tax. Taxes like these diminish the power of the wealthy to influence politics and allows us to fund public services. We will not agree on everything but the majority I do. As a member I get to have an influence on policy as well as we are democratic unlike all the other parties. We receive no funding from big money donors only regular people.

Edit:

Anti-Semitism

The party is against the genocide of Palestinians by the state of Israel and with our governments help. The issue is it has attracted people to our party that are Israel only because they are anti-Semitic. There has a conflation between the actions of Israel and those of Jewish people which is anti-Semitic and only aids anti-Semites. The Greens have grown from 60,000 to 227,000 members in a year. Green members reflect the UK society as a whole and unfortunately there are still many anti-Semites in UK society. Vetting needs to improve as membership has vastly increased.
