As the election period gets into full swing, we at Winchester Green Party would like to remind you that on the 4th of June there are two elections - for Hampshire County Council and for the European Parliament.
We say a vote for the old fashioned parties - the largely indistinguishable New Labour, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats - is simply a wasted vote because at their cores they all believe the same old rubbish that got us into this bank-destroying, climate-changing, stressed, unequal mess we find ourselves in. Only the Green Party been saying for over 3 decades that we need the kind of clearly different ideas and policies that come from a coherent view of the world.
Send a message and get some real change, vote Green Party!
Hampshire County Council Elections
After we beat Labour in every ward we stood in last summer we became the 3rd place party in Winchester. This time around it's for the much larger County Council divisions and we want to continue to make inroads on the two largely identical leading parties!
When Green councillors get in, they make a real difference as the following video outlines.

Winchester Green Party contested 4 Winchester wards in the May 1st local elections...
In every ward we contested we beat Labour and UKIP!
We're obviously very, very pleased with such a strong result for such a young local party. It's a great start and a great basis for Winchester's our first Green councillor!
Thank you to everyone who voted for us!
