Closed Citizens Income for All

Closed on

That the government adopts the Green Party policy on a Citizens Income for all and ensures every citizen in the UK has a minimum income through its Social Security system.

A Citizens Income for all will ensure everyone in the UK has a minimum income to meet their everyday needs.

A Citizens Income for all will mean no one will be subject to dire poverty incomes because of savage cuts in benefits and sanctions.

We recognise the right to food, warmth, adequate clothing and shelter for every citizen and a citizens income will ensure every individual is able to access these basics required to have a dignified life.
