    I'm glad that I heard most of what each of the candidates were saying, though I had difficulties hearing most of the questions; I found that the Chairperson and those questioners who were present either talked too fast, did not speak clearly enough, and/or did not use microphone properly.

    I'd have liked to have heard/remembered any Q&A about right-wing welfare reforms that are currently making life a misery for a great many people. By e-mail recently, Child Poverty Action Group recently reported that "in a few years time half of the children in the UK will be in families on [the so-called] Universal Credit."

    So, my message to my Green Party comrades from listening to these youtube videos of the candidates for Leader post -- and London Green Party who hosted this hustings -- would be that the Green Party should 'go out a lot more' to talk and listen to benefit claimants who by-and-large are being charged Council Tax while being too poor to be taxed.
