The National Policy Pages give details of all the Green Party's policies while the Party Manifesto spells out the new green deal. In these local West Oxon pages we aim to set out the background and look at some of those policies through a much more local perspective.
Life on Earth is under immense pressure.
It is human activity, more than anything else, which is threatening the well-being of the environment on which we depend. Conventional politics has failed us because its values are fundamentally flawed.
The Green Party isn't just another political party. Green politics is a new and radical kind of politics guided by these core principles:
Humankind depends on the diversity of the natural world for its existence. We do not believe that other species are expendable.
The Earth's physical resources are finite. We threaten our future if we try to live beyond those means, so we must build a sustainable society that guarantees our long-term future.
Every person, in this and future generations, should be entitled to basic material security as of right.
We look for non-violent solutions to conflict situations, which take into account the interests of minorities and future generations in order to achieve lasting settlements.
Our actions should take account of the well-being of other nations, other species, and future generations. We should not pursue our well-being to the detriment of theirs.
A healthy society is based on voluntary co-operation between empowered individuals in a democratic society, free from discrimination whether based on race, colour, gender, sexual orientation, religion, social origin or any other prejudice.
We emphasise democratic participation and accountability by ensuring that decisions are taken at the closest practical level to those affected by them.
The success of a society cannot be measured by narrow economic indicators, but should take account of factors affecting the quality of life for all people: personal freedom, social equity, health, happiness and human fulfilment.
Electoral politics is not the only way to achieve change in society, and we will use a variety of methods to help effect change, providing those methods do not conflict with our other core principles.
The Green Party puts changes in both values and lifestyles at the heart of the radical green agenda.

Both nationally and at County level there is a need for constant review of our party's policies to make sure they are relevant and appropriate. To achieve this the Oxfordshire Green Party has created a Policy Working Group to review and develop county wide policy. The Working group has announced a consultation process to which all local members can contribute. For more information visit our separate Oxfordshire Policy Development Page.
There are certain aspects of policy that need to be developed at a more granular level than the County. We are working on those policies alongside the County's Policy Working Group for more information visit the West Oxfordshire Green Party Policy Development pages.
