Peter Cranie was inspired to join the Green Party in 1999 after seeing the impact of Greens like Jean Lambert, Caroline Lucas and Robin Harper winning parliamentary seats in Scotland and Europe.

Last year Peter was our NorthWest candidate for the European elections. He was, sadly,  just beaten by the BNP. Here in Liverpool he won convincingly though, with 11.5% of the votes. Now he is standing for the council elections in 2010 as your local Green candidate.

"We need Greens elected at all levels of government, and an alternative vision to simple managerial and private sector politics. The job of politicians is to deliver good public services for all people and to safeguard our interests and security. Climate Change is an emerging threat that is not being treated with the urgency required. Only by electing more Greens will you get action on this issue."
