Date: 2012-07-27

Candidates for the Deputy Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales give coherent answers to a rambling question on rural and urban campaigning at the Oxford hustings.

Richard Mallender: Lack of affordable housing. Get involved into helping to develop a local plan. Environmental issues. Greens need to support the building and supporting of local communities.
 
Alexandra Phillips: We need a different strategy in rural areas. Hyper local campaigns. Different methods in selling our policies. Embedding ourselves in the local communities. Engage with communities. Need to think about how to reframe our messages.

Caroline Allen: The green party needs to be the party of the left. Localization of our food and talking about how that can provide opportunities.
