GREEN CONFERENCE: ‘Vote Green to get revolution’
Bennett promises peaceful revolt as she gets over radio gaffe

NATALIE BENNETT said yesterday that voting Green at the general election can spark a “peaceful political revolution” as she bounced back from her “mind blank” radio embarrassment.

The under-pressure Green leader was cheered on by 1,300 members as she delivered a short but assured speech to her party’s biggest ever conference.

She pledged her party will “end the failed austerity experiment” if its MPs hold the balance of power after Britain’s most unpredictable general election in May.

Green steps forward are clear, but is it enough?
