Mike Jackson, Green

Green PPC (East Yorkshire),

Mike Jackson's endorsement & reply

"The Green Party does not only do stuff about the

environment and has a long history of supporting other ethical causes.

We have a full suite of costed policies covering every aspect of

government.

Unlike the other 3 main parties (who all seem to be the same these

days) if elected we would not cut public spending but invest in public

services to prevent unemployment. Also, in contrast to the other 3

main parties we were not involved in the recent expenses scandal. Our

MEPs all declared their expenses from day one and we act in an ethical

manner.

Your proposals look a lot like Green Party policy. we propose a 50%

tax over £100,000 and would rearrange the tax system for a fairer

society".

Do you agree in principle with the aforementioned policy?*

*no commitment to act upon the policy

Answer - "Yes, in fact as I say it looks very similar to Green party policy".

In a generic sense, do you believe that the rich should pay more tax and the poor should pay less tax?

Answer - "Yes. Inequality has got bigger under Labour and the Tories. We want to change that by taking from the rich and giving to the poor".

Do you pledge to campaign for income tax reform at the

next parliament?*

*not necessarily as specified with the above policy

Answer - "Yes. I would seek to implement the aforementioned Green party policy".

Best regards

Mike Jackson

(Green Party election candidate East Yorkshire)
