The Wales Green Party has launched its 2015 General Election manifesto with a rejection of other parties growth objective and a commitment to what it calls a 'One Planet Economy'.

The Greens' priority they say would be to address the challenge of climate change and unacceptable growing levels of inequality.

Key policies announced at the launch were:

  • to increase investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency creating thousands of clean, green jobs.

  • to make the minimum wage a living wage.

  • to change taxation by instigating a Robin Hood tax on financial transactions.

  • to split investment (casino) banking from high street banking.

  • to work towards introducing a Citizens Income for all, to reward work rather than wealth.

Wales Green Party candidates are standing in 35 out of 40 constituencies in Wales.
