He argued Alliance is a 'centre/centre-right' party whereas the Greens are 'left or centre-left'
The leader of the Green Party in Northern Ireland has insisted they are "not just Alliance with a greener message".
He pointed to Alliance's voting record in the past on legalising same-sex marriage, which he described as "marginally over 50%" while the Green Party's was "always 100% in support". "But I think as a party, we're different and I think we need to clearly articulate our differences from them," he added.
He said the party has a "whole generation of new activists coming through" and their membership has increased compared to this time last year. From the Northern Ireland Protocol to other thorny issues inside Stormont and exclusive interviews - we’ve got you covered.He said: "I think I can point to delivery in parts of North Belfast helping local residents, working with community groups, community organisations, helping to regenerate parts of the city, and I think people will recognise that and endorse me on May 18."
"If we controlled those powers in Belfast, then we could affect change at a much quicker pace," he added.
