Aaron Bastani Talks To The Green Party In Bristol Central 

As a lifelong Labour voter, when I vote green, I’m not betraying Labour; they betrayed me.

The greens deffo deserve a bigger platform, love novara 💚

I've never been so tempted to vote Green as I am now.

Aah if I'd known Aaron was going to be in Castle Park I'd have gone down to shake his hand! Bristol represent! 💚💚💚

Come on Bristol 💚✊🏿

Green , workers , independent, ❤❤❤❤ the big partys are finished

I'm in Bristol South. The way I see it Stamer has chosen to purge people like me from the Labour Party. Greens have my vote.

Labour have lost me these last few months. Thank you for giving the greens some kind of platform.

Labour are losing seats because they can't come out and say inequality and war are bad and public services are good.

I'm in Bristol Central, cant wait to vote for Carla Denyer and the Green party on 4th July 💚💚💚

I hope the green party get a load more seats

proud to see Bristol so well represented 💚 there are Green Party placards on most streets here, Free Palestine protests every Saturday at the council house... you can just *feel* that Labour are gonna lose this seat. up the Greens!

I'm based in South Bristol and will be voting for Greens as well. I regret not doing it sooner

Will be voting Green in a GE first time ever in a Labour-Tory marginal. Sick to my stomach of these establishment parties.

I live in a safe Labour seat but I'll be voting Green for the stats

I'm in Bristol North West and if they chair a candidate here, they absolutely have my vote, Labour can get F****d.

I'm voting Green. I'm in a safe Tory seat so likely another wasted vote - but I think this election we must vote in what we believe in.

"I got deselected for liking one of your tweets" Well that says it all doesn't it

Starmer rebranding Austerity!

Bristol City were in the first division in the 1970s. Football existed before the premier league, believe it or not

Yesssss Bristol, make it happen!! We desperately need more progressive voices in parliament and more people rejecting this version of Labour, for the sake of some semblance of democratic choice. Poor Caroline Lucas had to do it on her own for years and she usually sounded like the only sensible person in the room while being generally patronised by the Tories every time she called them out.

Message anyone you know in Bristol and get them to vote green!

Make Britain green again 😊

I'm voting Green in Stockton West, formerly Stockton South and Matt Vickers seat. The keeping of the 2 child benefit cap is abhorrent as is Labours position on Palestine.

Not as beautiful as Bristol, but my home town. Birkenhead. A third Green seat?

Very interesting. Good luck to the UK on Thursday.

I hope she wins it!

Hope you enjoyed being here in my hometown! We certainly are different! My MP, Kerry McCarthy, abstained on the Palestine ceasefire vote along with Thagnam Debbonaire (also an MP here). I’ll be voting Green as things stand.

I hope to see more than Bristol going to green party.

Aaron is in the field!! This must be important 💚

Proud of my old hometown....if only London was the same.

Labour has gone to the Right and the People have had it with the rightward direction of politics.

Amazing to see Aaron out asking the questions. Certainly don't see Murdoch out vox popping! Makes me proud to support Novara

I voted Corbyn and wanted him to be PM, and Wes Streeting has literally said he doesn't want people like me associated with the Labour Party, which is fine by me. I instructed my union not to allocate my membership fee to Labour. I'll vote for the Greens, perhaps the only left wing party available to the electorate.

Nice people, they gave me hope.

Right to roam - to protect our wild spaces they must be appreciated, and must therefore be seen.

Thank you, thank you for giving coverage to the Green Party. I am sick and tired of our unrepresentative votjng system and the fake wrestling match that is the two major political parties.

Me thinks labour are terrified of Aaron Bastani. 😊

Great coverage! 💚

Vote green

Superb video, Novara Media. It makes me want to move to Bristol and it definitely means I'll be voting Green.

Come on Brizzer!

Come on Bristol, let's get a second Green MP into parliament! I'm in Bristol East so can't vote for Carla unfortunately but I'll be voting Green regardless.

Bristol is my fav UK city. The art, music, community and politics are on point ✊

💚💚💚

The Greens are the Nimby Kings in my area they've recently opposed the building of affordable housing in replace of a disused garage

Damn, maybe I should move to Bristol.

The Green Party should have many more MP's. Such a shame they don't, why do idiots keep voting for the Tories?

All I have to say about the British Isles: Electoral Reform, Electoral Reform, Electoral Reform. You need to invest in Proportional Representation like we have here in New Zealand (MMP). Worst Past the Post means poor representation in Parliament and not very democratic.

Makes me want to move there!

shout out to the man watering his head

Would love to see a video like this brought to Thanet in East Kent. One of the most deprived areas in Kent, always a tory stronghold and more recently had its electoral borders manipulated to retain one of the two seats held locally

A few years ago, I was seriously thinking about going over to the UK to work and I was told to stay the hell away from London and instead look to Bristol and Cardiff as they are considered as the two most progressive cities to live in.

Apparently Keir Starmer today is saying his number one priority is creating wealth

Lovely to meet you on your Bristol foray Mr Bastani. Keep up the good work.

Off topic, but I'll be voting Green on Sunday for my MEP Alviina Alametsä 216

PLEASE MAKE IT OBVIOUS WHICH ARE CLIPS FROM NOVARA LIVE AND WHICH ARE UNIQUE CONTENT. I NEARLY MISSED THIS VIDEO!!!

The people of Bristol are right on 💚✊

Green party for me💚

new poster "Kier Starmer is a wet wipe" classic

Good luck Greens. 👍

we're voting Green in North Herefordshire. We're going to send Ellie Chowns to Westminster 🍏🍏🍏

Love this reportttting :)

Sadly I moved out of what is now the Bristol Central constituency, else I'd definitely have voted Green (no chance of them winning in the part of Bristol I'm in now)

Vote Green 💚

I already love Bristol. If they vote Green I will love Bristolians even more!

I was so sure it would be the SNP that made Labour lose Bristol Central

I expect to hear good sense from leading Green Party figures, but I'm impressed with the political, economic and environmental awareness of the people of Bristol as interviewed here. Wow - what's going on in Bristol? It gives me hope. We really need Carla Denyer in Parliament (and Sian Berry, Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns).

love the greens I hope they grow more in my area! atm its between labour or libdems in my tory area. just waiting for the tactical vote to come through before the 4th

I really hope the Greens have a surge. I normally vote Labour and will be voting tactically. But I am worried if Labour have a 150 seat majority it might cause more damage.

Everyone reading this, please get involved with Make Votes Matter, and pushing for Proportional Representation so we don’t have to do mind tricks with tactical voting!

As a student graduate in 2001 I left the UK under the Blair mantra of Education Education Education. He restarted fees for Uni. 20 years on in Tokyo its wonderful to see the passsion of the local voters.

Hope the Greens win in Bristol, I like Bristol, and I live the opposite side of the Seven Bridge, either Plaid Cymru or the Greens will get my vote

The dude in the background heard labour and had to wash away the filth!

Thanks

I'm in Bristol Central and my vote for the greens was solidified when I found out that my potential MP used to work in renewable energy and knows that it's David Cameron's policy basically blocking all new onshore wind in England, Wales and N.Ireland that basically killed that world-leading industry within a year. I now work in that industry and have to explain that to everyone outside because so few seem to know. ... that and Starmer is too right wing for me, too autocratic and can't call out a textbook example of genocide, and basically encourages killing civilians. That was so shocking to hear. And many years ago, in my ignorance, I was nearly a Tory voter.

In this antiquated two-party system, it's often difficult to hope for real change. Months ago, I came across online voices talking about voting Green should there be a GE. These voices definitely have increased in numbers, there seems to be a real movement, and now I am hoping the Green party has the finances to put candidates forwards in many more seats.

GIVE GREEN A CHANCE THIS ELECTION

Does it matter . Without PR Britain isnt a democracy

Not the black guy pouring water into himself at the beginning 😂😂

VOTE 💚💚💚💚 to keep the vile Tories out & hold Labour accountable

GO GREENS!!! 💚💚💚

was that guy washing bird poo out his hair?

Bristol City has played in the top division

I'm thinking of ditching London for Bristol. Sounds like the coolest place in the UK.

Aaron you know your politics but bristol city were in top flight the old first division from season 1975-76. They played four seasons in the top-flight

Keir starmers is a went wipe is a message for the ages

I would've been chuffed to have a local Green candidate. Tory, Labour, Reform, or Nationalist. Those are the only options in my constituency.

Wooooooooo!!!

Bristol 💚 Novara Media

Schtarmer's party is shaping up to be Ingsoc. "Thus, the Party rejects and vilifies every principle for which the social ist movement originally stood, and it chooses to do this in the name of social ism."

Look at Keir Starmer’s handle of Gaza

Damn didnt know u were gonna be in my home town

Tiny Austria and all European countries have loads of Green MPs. Why does the much larger Uk population just have one, or maybe even two Greens? Discuss.

Is that storror parkour behind you Aaron?😂

“It’s the home of Massive Attack” but uses video footage of Roni Size 😂 (whom is from Bristol)

Bristol City played in the old 1st Divison!!!! Less of that smack talk lol

When you vote, keep in mind youre voting for your local area, whos out here on the steeets? Whose policies do you think would be good for your town? Dont vote sunak vs starmer vote for whos improving your town

"never had a football team in England's top flight" City has been in the first division for 9 seasons. football existed before 1992 believe it or not

Is there a chance of labour and green forming a coalition government?
