Biography
I'm 27 years old and I joined the Green Party in recognition that for young people, the neoliberal agenda of the last few decades has failed to fundamentally give us a steak in life: We have had consecutive governments who do not believe in the state being an active participant in the economy to improve in living standards intervening where the market has failed, it has abolished the social contract, privatised and sold off the economy, crippled the bargaining power of workers, all in the name of market forces and the hegemony of capital. Freedom of capital is not the same as freedom of the individual, and the Greens for me are the only major party standing for fundamental change of this system to a fairer one, to fight the class war and not the culture war. They've given me hope.
