Continuing with the @garyseconomics.bsky.social and @richardjmurphy.bsky.social debate - I thought this guy did a good job of identifying the differences between them and then brought them together in a win/win way.

Over 400 people agree that gas fuelled electric wholesale prices should be detached from renewable electric prices, making sure the savings, which are considerable, are passed onto consumer NOT shareholders. Can you take it to 500? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

Did you know?

Unlike some parties, we donโ€™t whip our MPs or councillors.

This means theyโ€™re free to vote in the interests of their community, and not because anyone in the leadership tells them how to vote.

The Green Party is a fully democratic party.

Renewable electric prices originally matched gas produced electric to encourage providers to switch to renewables.

Over 50% of UK electricity is now renewable. Gas prices have SOARED, cost of investment in renewables have PLUMMETED.

Savings belong to us. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

Unhappy you're paying too much for your electricity in the UK?

The price of electricity is linked to generation using gas, so typically paying more than we should.

Tell the government you're not happy with this arrangement and signing the petition.
