Green Party support

[edit]

The link claiming to support the idea that the Green Party backs basic income, does not link to a page by the Green Party but to an American blog, which appears to be talking about the Green Party of America, which obviously is not binding on UK policy. Is there a more relevant (and ideally more recent) link?

This same problem applies on the main Basic Income page.

History section vs politics of today...

[edit]

Perhaps history can be until year 2000. And then a new section for current politics and development. From year 2001 and onwards?--Mats33 (talk) 20:02, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Greens...

[edit]

Josh Martin: "The Green Party (2015a) produced a detailed basic income scheme for the 2015 election that clearly learned from Hirsch’s debate with the CIT. As seen in Figure 3, the Green Party’s schema increases Child Benefit to £50 weekly, implements a basic income of £80 weekly, and creates a Citizen’s Pension of £155 weekly, with basic income supplements for lone parents, lone pensioners, and disabled people." Should be mentioned too. --Mats33 (talk) 22:06, 25 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What happened in Scotland?

[edit]

"In 2018, the Scottish Government agreed to provide 250,000 GBP to assess the feasibility of a universal basic income pilot in four areas: Glasgow, Edinburgh and the regions of Fife and North Ayrshire. The feasibility study will be completed in September 2019, and the government will then decide how best to proceed with a pilot in the four areas."...

So...? --Mats33 (talk) 22:10, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Overly contemporary perspective

[edit]

The article has an overly strong sense of the present day. It talks about the Opposition, referring to Labour etc, who happen to be the present day Opposition. EditorPerson53 (talk) 22:41, 17 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
