Introduction
The Green Party sits in opposition. It traditionally has two spokespersons rather than a single leader and prioritises climate, environment, and civil liberties.
Positions
Economy
Green investment-led economic policy: stronger carbon pricing, public spending on climate transition, and support for households affected by the shift.
