Winchester Green Party - elections

Thank you!

Winchester Green Party is fighting to get the first Green Councillor in Hampshire elected.

Although we did not win in the St Bartholomew Ward this time (Winchester City Council election), we took 12 per cent of the vote, the second highest for the Green Party anywhere in Hampshire, and more than double our vote share last year.

We are really grateful if – against the electoral odds – you entrusted us with your precious vote. We aim to ensure your trust is justified.

If you think the Green Party is just an environmental organisation, think again. A single underlying philosophy does not make us a single issue party, and we tackle all the usual areas of policy – and means of paying for them – including economic policy, education, housing, health, transport, food and more.

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.
