    Good and bad I was born here its my home can still feel not so part of it many BME struggle to identify with the City for many reasons

    Bristol is where I was born and raised. I developed my liberal leftie hippie politics because of this city. Happy to be home

    Hey Will, difficult to answer off the top my head all civilised countries need TU's we support the TU's who have Green credentials

    -How would you work Trade Unions?Especially ones that promote un-green policies (i.e. GMB loves fracking, UNITE loves nukes)

    ...focus on our GP policies and avoid crticising other parties on the doorstep. Identify comunity needs and offer support to ongoing causes

    We’re going to need to run a really strong campaign for the next General Election. How will you win in Bristol?

    How do you stop consumerism? How can you stop people spending? Austerity is the 21 century plague

    Replying to @bristolgreen
    Easier than balancing excessive consumerism with a pro- or lukewarm opposition to austerity

    UKIP beat me in 2015 that's how strong people feel if there was a easy answer the problem would have gone away long ago....

    Yet there is also a great deal of resentment among many working class constituents. We need to place blame where it belongs, with government

    Replying to @bristolgreen
    6/6 Meanwhile Metrobus seems to be a lesson in how NOT to deliver a public transport system

    Austerity more cuts are looming, im in an industry that can't sustain more cuts

    Replying to @bristolgreen
    2/2 second choice would be to restore local authority finances, enabling local services to be delivered

    All of our policies are credible but money in your pockets also helps to stave of poverty, depression gives us a little more resiliance

    Universal basic income. People can't think about existential environmental threats we face if they're in economically precarious situations.

    Difficult choice - fare economy, as it can incorporate farness and equality/equity as guiding principle

    If you could push for one and only one policy, what would you choose?

    Agree. Labour feel confident that they can win the next elections and will not need to be part of such an alliance

    Replying to @bristolgreen
    1/3 Progressive Alliance possible but will probably depend on appetite within Labour for cross-party working

    Read a comment in Guardian re Corbyn having similar views to GP. If so, I would vote Labour. No intention to do so.

    Replying to @bristolgreen
    I am not sure if possible and if we would wish to do so. The Uk's current political parties are not getting it right.
