Plymouth Green Party is pleased to announce that Georgia Nelson has been selected as the Green Party candidate for Plymouth Moor View in the upcoming General Election.
Georgia, a dedicated Green Party member and campaigner since 2019, expressed her enthusiasm for her candidacy, stating, “For 14 years, this country has been led by a Conservative government marred by sleaze and corruption, and defined by destruction of public services, lack of action on climate breakdown, and huge social and economic inequality. Labour has the opportunity to change the direction of politics in the UK, but is instead engaging in a race to the bottom, peddling old and tired policies and refusing to take principled stances. The Green Party is the solution to this political stagnation, and in the upcoming General Election, I’m honoured to have been selected as the Green Party candidate in Plymouth Moor View.”
At this general election, the Green Party is standing candidates in a record 574 seats in England and Wales, giving people up and down the country the chance to vote for real hope and real change.
Nelson notes, “In hearts and minds across the country, people are yearning for change and for an alternative to the status quo. With the effects of the climate crisis closing in, the cost of living sky-high, and the NHS on its knees, voters in every corner of the UK deserve the chance to vote Green for real hope and real change.”
“In this election there is no need to vote tactically – who will lead the next government is in no doubt. A Green vote in Moor View will hold fire to Labour’s feet, pushing them to scrap the cruel two-child benefit cap that’s keeping hundreds of children in Plymouth in poverty, save our NHS from creeping privatisation, ensure safe and warm homes for all and be ambitious in tackling the climate and nature emergencies.”
Nelson’s political journey began as a first-year student at the University of Bristol, where she was actively involved in Carla Denyer’s MP campaign in Bristol West. “This campaign was my first taste of political engagement, and I was immediately absorbed. I have since been involved in numerous election campaigns,” she said.
Her political experience extends beyond campaigning; she has held multiple elected roles within the Green Party. As the co-chair of Bristol Young Greens from 2020-21, she led the group through the challenges of the pandemic, maintaining high engagement through online events. Since 2021, she has served as the events officer for the Bristol Young Greens committee. Additionally, Nelson has also served as the staff member for the Green Party’s youth wing, the Young Greens, and now works as Carla Denyer’s Personal Assistant, supporting Denyer in her role as co-leader of the party.
