Side by side
The Green Party of England and Wales and Restore Britain across all ten areas, in their own stated terms. Open in full for the detail beneath any line.
Immigration & asylum
Green
Expand safe routes; end hotel accommodation; oppose deterrence
In full ▾Less ▴
Opposes deterrence-based policy outright, favouring expanded safe and legal routes and an end to hotel-based asylum accommodation.
Restore
Abolish asylum; deport everyone here illegally within three years
In full ▾Less ▴
The furthest-reaching platform of the six: abolition of the asylum system and what the party calls the largest deportation programme in Britain's history, set out in a 113-page paper, Mass Deportations: Legitimacy, Legality and Logistics, which proposes removing everyone in the UK illegally within three years. The overall target is net-negative immigration.
Legal scholars and migration researchers question whether removals on this scale are achievable within any Western legal framework, and the paper's own title concedes legitimacy and legality are open questions.

Green
Wealth tax on assets over £10m; £15 minimum wage
In full ▾Less ▴
A wealth tax of 1% a year on individual assets above £10m and 2% above £1bn, which the party says would raise £15bn a year. Alongside it, a £15 minimum wage and a four-day working week.
Economists dispute wealth-tax yields of this size, pointing to valuation difficulty and behavioural response; the party treats the figure as its own costing.

Housing
Green
Social housing funded from the capital programme
In full ▾Less ▴
Social housing is funded from the same £90bn capital programme, alongside health and education — the party's answer to supply being public building rather than planning liberalisation.

Crime & justice
Green
Presumption against short sentences; divert rather than jail
In full ▾Less ▴
A presumption against custodial sentences under two years, with investment redirected to courts, diversion schemes and violence-reduction units rather than prison places. The party would restore youth services and community policing, repeal the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act and the Public Order Act, abolish the Prevent programme, and decriminalise sex work.
Restore
A referendum on restoring the death penalty
In full ▾Less ▴
A referendum on restoring the death penalty. Possession of pepper spray would be legalised and "reasonable force" in home defence expanded.
Capital punishment is prohibited by Protocol 13 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which the UK has ratified; restoring it would require withdrawal.

Green
£90bn a year capital spending; water, rail and energy in public hands
In full ▾Less ▴
Capital spending raised by £90bn a year by 2030, of which more than £70bn goes to the green transition. Water, rail and energy companies would be taken into public ownership.

Defence & foreign policy
Green
Cancel Trident and begin disarming, while staying in NATO
In full ▾Less ▴
Immediately begin dismantling Britain's nuclear weapons, cancelling Trident and banning nuclear-armed ships from UK waters, while continuing to recognise NATO's role in European security.
The combination of remaining in NATO while unilaterally disarming is the most contested element of the platform, since the alliance's strategic concept is explicitly nuclear.

Defund the BBC; ban the burqa; end halal and kosher slaughter
In full ▾Less ▴
Withdrawal of BBC funding. Halal and kosher slaughter would be abolished, and the burqa and niqab banned in public.
The religious-slaughter and clothing measures would affect Jewish and Muslim practice; the party frames them as animal-welfare and integration measures.
