And I'm just really proud that I can go out and tell the truth about stuff to people.

Like we're not selling people an impossible reality or trying to convince people we've got all the answers and we're going to change everything overnight.

Like people aren't stupid and they're fed up with being lied to by politicians who try and sell them a dream.

We're going out and telling people what we can do as Greens.

And the biggest thing that we can do with an extra Green MP is hold the other political parties to account.

Us being in the room when decisions are being made will push people in a better direction.

Yeah, definitely.

Because I think people see that I've lived in the constituency before, but I still work here.

And I still see, like, with my very own eyes, the situations that people are living in.

And I think if you're not embedded into our community, you don't see that as much.

Whereas I know I'm on the ground, like, talking to people in what we're doing campaigning.

But I've also seen for a very long time with my own eyes how bad the situation has got and how people are living.

Yeah.

Yeah, I don't think I would consider it to be a split of the left vote.

I don't see the Labour Party being anything remotely similar to us.

They've shifted, I think, certainly for the last few years, shifted away from working people and working class communities.

But certainly since they came into government and they were voted in under the promise of change and...

Things have changed for people since Labour got in, but they've changed for the worse.

We've seen our disabled communities thrown under the bus over personal independence payments, living with all that uncertainty because the government refused to advocate for them.

We've seen our older residents have their winter fuel payments ripped away from them.
