Ben McCluskey: How do you rate your chances, both for yourself and the Green Party as a whole, in these elections?
Martin Hemingway: At the moment it’s looking very good indeed. We need 12% of the vote to win a seat, and the latest opinion polls put us on 15%. We’ve had a great response, and there’s a chance we can do even better than that.
BM: How do you feel that a victory for you in Yorkshire and Humber will change the region?
MH: I think it would be very good for the region. At the moment, we’ve got one MEP that doesn’t do anything, because that’s his party’s policy; that’s the UK Independence Party MEP. I, on the other hand, will be very active around the region.
BM: Which of your policies do you think will be of the greatest interest to students?
MH: I think students will be most interested in those policies associated with the Green New Deal, a document we prepared in the autumn. This showed that there were lots of jobs in the green sector available; effectively it showed that there’s a hole there in the job market, providing a great opportunity for students. In Germany, there are 250,000 jobs in the green sector with a turnover of €24billion; in the UK, there are less than 7,000 jobs in the green sector and a turnover of €350million. So there’s certainly great potential for us.
