My Green MP alternative Queen's Speech - not quite like Cameron-Clegg's version
My Green MP alternative Queen's Speech
"As the Queen prepares to travel to Westminster to make her first speech setting out the coalition's planned laws, the country's first ever Green MP Caroline Lucas writes for Channel 4 News to describe what her alternative Queen's Speech would look like....
"My government's overriding priority is to modernise the British economy for a low-carbon future, to create an economy more balanced between manufacturing and services, more resilient in the face of financial crises, where wealth is more equitably distributed and the more vulnerable in society are offered greater protection.
"My government will bring forward a bill to initiate an emergency investment package, to cost £44bn, which will be intended to create over one million new jobs and training places...."

I agree. What is with all these cuts? If we invest in the economy, the government would recieve more money through tax and would be able to pay off some of the debt.
