  • Greens' BAME Manifesto
    WORK There is a looming crisis in unemployment among young BAME people. Figures from the House of Commons Library show that in 2014 there were 41,000 long term unemployed 16- to 24-year- olds from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities, which is a 50% rise from 2010. As a whole BAME workers are almost twice as likely as white workers to be unemployed.1 There is also a growing body of evidence to suggest employers, particularly private sector employers, are filtering out applicants with foreign-sounding names2, while many workplaces report a lack of opportunity for career progression for BAME staff including the NHS,3 the police,4 and academia.5 To address these issues the Green Party would: • Progressively introduce anonymised CVs so fewer female and BAME candidates are screened out before the interview stage. • Introduce a mandatory living wage of £10 an hour by 2020, so BAME workers are lifted out of workplace poverty. • Enforce the minimum wage by law and more actively police breaches. • Strengthen workers’ rights and trade unions so workers can more actively fight against discrimination in the workplace. • End exploitative zero hours contracts which trap BAME workers in insecure low paid work. • Pursue stronger recruitment drives for BAME workers in the public sector. • Reduce Employment Tribunal fees so that workers facing racism can afford to seek justice and recompense. • Increase funding for apprenticeships by 30% to help deliver more opportunities for young people. Green councillors have worked hard in providing job opportunities for BAME people. Former Councillor Maya De Souza in Camden worked hard to address council cuts which were disproportionately affecting BAME employees whilst entrenching a lack of diversity at the top of the council.

  • 2004 Election Results for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly
    2004 election results for the Mayor of London and the London Assembly The 2004 Mayor of London election results If there are only two candidates, the Mayor of London is elected using the First Past the Post system. The candidate with the most votes wins. If there are three or more candidates running for Mayor, the Supplementary Vote system is used to ensure the candidate with the broadest amount of support from London is elected. In this system, voters can cast a first and second choice vote. If a candidate receives more than half of all the first choice votes they are elected. If this does not happen, the top two candidates with the most first choice votes go through to a second round. All other candidates are eliminated, but the second choice votes on their ballot papers are looked at. If they are for either of the top two candidates, these second choices are added to their totals. The candidate with the highest total of first and second choice votes wins.

    GREENS FOR A BETTER EUROPE TWENTY YEARS OF UK GREEN INFLUENCE IN THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, 1999 –2019 EDITED BY LIAM WARD WITH JAMES BRADY GREENS FOR A BETTER EUROPE T WENT Y YEARS OF UK GREEN INFLUENCE IN THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, 1999 –2019 EDITED BY LIAM WARD WITH JAMES BRADY LONDON PUBLISHING PAR TNERSHIP Chapter 3 London, Brussels and beyond: my work as a Green MEP Jean Lambert Welcome at last ‘Welcome at last’. This was the greeting from Juan Behrend, Co- Sec-retary General of the Green Group in the European Parliament, when I arrived at the Group’s first meeting after the 1999 European election. It was the first in the UK to be held by a method of propor- tional representation. I knew Juan, and many others at that meeting to set up the Group for the 1999–2004 term, through my years as a UK Green Party of England and Wales representative to the Euro- pean Green Coordination (forerunner of the European Green Party) and as my party’s ‘guest’ MEP in the 1989 Green Alternative Euro- pean Link (GRAEL) group, which was the first coordinated group of its kind led by the Greens. For two-and-a-half years, I had been a member of the Group’s executive body (the Bureau), had attended and voted at meetings of the Group, and had represented it at times, such as supporting the then Czechoslovakian Greens (Strana Zélèny) in the first election after the collapse of the Soviet Union. How had this come about? It was the result of the 1989 European election, when, under the previous disproportional electoral system (first-past-the-post), the UK Greens gained an average of 14.5% of the vote but no MEPs.1 Under a proportional system, we would have 84 GREENS FOR A BETTER EUROPE been the largest national green delegation.
