through this health crisis the vast majority of us know that we cannot just go back to business as usual. the pandemic has exposed a shaky foundation of our economy, the cracks in society and the precarious situation so many find themselves in. we know that this country is ready for change. when they are as the public is clear that they, like us, want something different. just last week a poll showed that there is strong support for bold measures to tackle the climate emergency. people want a carbon tax on the most polluting industries. they want those who fly frequently to pay more for it. they want proper funding for greening their homes and they want ways to eat less meat and dairy every day. only the green party has the policies the public are looking for not only on climate but also in creating a fairer society like public ownership of public services.
