The following is reposted from their website http://justicenotcrisis.wordpress.com/2010/04/22/parliamentary-and-local-council-elections-2010/
We have decided not to stand a local or Parliamentary Candidate in Erdington and would urge our Green voters/supporters to Vote Conservative.
The Conservative -Lib-Dem controlled Council have finally started to build more social housing in Birmingham and the first new homes will be ready for occupation in 2011. The Conservative Party have listened to the people of Birmingham and Acted.
Work has also commenced on Pershore Road Edgbaston the site of our first squat which will see new Council homes for rent, and our second Squat The Firebird which will see a mix of Socially rented and shared ownership homes available next year.
JNC members standing as Green Party Local Election Candidates are :-
Steve Austin Brandwood
Lee Moore Kingstanding
Colette Tedstone Shard End
Kirsty Tedstone Lozells and East Handsworth

In Moseley and Kings Heath we urge supporters to Vote Liberal democrat.
Supporters who Live in Solihull in the Smiths Wood or Chelmsley Wood wards are urged to Vote Green, we are confident of gains from the BNP and Labour in these Wards.
We would like to thank the hundreds of supporters who wish to see more Socially rented housing, better standards in homes and resident led regeneration projects, for the many messages of support we continue to get.

Greens & the Police

When challenged on this (police spending has increased by 50% in real terms since 1997, so that Britain spends more of its GDP on policing than any other industrialised nation) they said they meant more money for 'community police'.
Problem is, we don't have a 'community' police force on the one hand, and a separate 'beating up demonstrators' police force on the other. They are all available for whatever...
Calling for more police in the most heavily policed country in the world is not a very radical line.
