The St. Vincent & the Grenadines
(SVG) Green Party was formerly launched on 10th January 2005. The
launch was held at the residence of Ivan O’Neal BSc(Hons),
MSc, MBA.
Ivan O’Neal is the Leader of SVG Green
Party and one of the co-founders. The launch was of significant
interest to all the media in St. Vincent and in attendance were
the national TV station, newspapers and radio stations.SVG
Green Party’s policies are based on the need for long-term
food, economic and social security in our country and environmental
sustainability. We aim to encourage the development
of an inclusive, safe society for all, eradicate illiteracy and
poverty, empower the vulnerable, improve the health of the nation,
create a fully employable workforce and reduce unemployment to single
figures.
We need to leave behind last century’s politics
of short-term party policies, created mainly to get people re-elected,
but which are detrimental to our economy and society. We need to
leave behind ‘party jobs’, where people are given jobs
based on who they voted for.
We need a society in which people gain jobs based
on ability and are free to vote for the party of their choice without
fear of losing their job. SVG Green Party aims to bring SVG’s
economy and society in to the 21st century with policies that are
exciting, achievable, realistic, but also necessary to achieve a
thriving, sustainable, democratic society.
