WALT: Write an effective argument for our chosen political party.

Is National the best party to vote for?

Personally, I think we should all vote green.

I believe Green has some awesome ideas for a healthier lifestyle for us all and here are a few policies that are going to change your thoughts about who to vote for. For instance, they want to make it safer for children to walk and cycle to school.

Making it safer for children to walk and cycle to school.

They will make it safer for children in schools by reducing the speed limit around schools, and fund walking/cycling infrastructure and a fund of $50 million would be established to fund infrastructure around schools to separate walkers and cyclists from road traffic. Which will result in happier cyclists and pedestrians because they don’t have to share the road. This is a very important policy because children will become more fit and energized when they get to school to start the school day. Another important reason why it’s important is that there will be less of a traffic jam of parents trying to drop their kids off to school because more will be coming by themselves on their bikes and scooters. Another VERY important policy from the green party is… to aim to have 100% renewable electricity by 2030.

Aim for 100% renewable electricity by 2030.

For example they plan to replace the normal way to make power with renewable options like wind, solar and geothermal power. Why this is important is because we will be less power lines everywhere because people will have solar panels on their roofs. Another reason why this is an important policy is that it will be safer to have in homes. Another very important policy to have in New Zealand is to create a whale sanctuary in Taranaki.

To create a whale sanctuary in Taranaki.

The Green Party would create a marine mammal sanctuary in New Zealand off the South Coast of Taranaki, called the South Taranaki Whale Sanctuary. The sanctuary will be the biggest in New Zealand (30,000 square kilometres). We should have a whale sanctuary in Taranaki because people overseas and in nz are hunting whales and they are slowly dieing out of existence because of this. If we have a whale sanctuary then we could save a few whale species that are going to go extinct. But, in other parties they have policies that are not as good as green’s, for example, increasing funding for maths in primary schools.

Increase funding for maths in primary schools

If national increases funding for maths in schools we will have lots of unhappy children!

If they increase the funding in maths, what’s in it for the other subjects? And…

The only reason they probably want to fund it more is because people aren’t learning it in schools as well and they want to help those people out more. But! Think about the people who have worked hard with everything they are already doing, they’ll have to do more! Let’s go over all of the positive points about voting for green again!

That about wraps it up for the reasons why the green party is the best to vote for. This is why we should all vote green. If Green takes leadership we can have children going to school safe, renewable electricity by 2030 and make sure whales don’t go extinct in New Zealand. We will live healthier, hopefully eat healthier, and stay healthier. So, are you still voting for national? Or have you changed your mind?
