To make an idea come to life is always going to involve hard work. The ratio of inspiration to perspiration is always going to favour the latter! However, there has to be an environment in which aspiration is encouraged and nurtured.
Ironically, sometimes the energy for embarking on a visionary project can be birthed in the very circumstances you want to leave behind. Even relative poverty can be the driver to pursue your original idea. But that should never, ever be used to justify Tory style policies of austerity.
The Green Party is committed to building a fairer and more equitable society with policies that will give the opportunity to be aspirational:
- Citizen's Income - where everyone has an income regardless. This actually saves taxpayer's money
- Three Day Weekend - a vision to improve health and wellbeing - yielding more efficiency and safer productivity
Furthermore their is a rational commitment to reducing spending on flagship, grandstanding projects:
- NO HS2
- NO Hinkley Point C
- NO Trident renewal
Let's move away from complacency and cynicism. They are the greatest hindrance to aspiration.
And on that note it is just one week to the Essex County Council Elections, make your voice heard by voting Green!
