Natalie Bennett faces young voters in the Live Lounge

Natalie Bennett has been questioned by 10 young voters in the Live Lounge.

The Green Party leader was quizzed on what she would do about the threat from Islamic State, how she would tax the rich and why she doesn't like having to shout over other leaders.

She said a Green government would mean Britain playing a major role in UN peace keeping missions.

The leader also gave details of her party's plans for dealing with the housing crisis.

On defence

Bennett was asked about her party's policy to get rid of the UK's nuclear weapons system, Trident and to ban fighter jets.

"In terms of Trident, these are hideous weapons of mass destruction that we can never use" she said.

"We're signed up to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons that says we should be working to get rid of these."

She argued replacing the worn out system in coming years would cost 100 billion pounds over its lifetime, saying: "There's a lot other things we could be spending that on."

Asked how scrapping Trident could impact the UK if it came under threat, Ms Bennett said she didn't believe a sane prime minister should press the nuclear button in "any situation".

The Green Party's policies for young people

Ms Bennett was also asked if people may be confused about the party's policies after giving the impression in past it wanted to get rid of the conventional army.

"We actually want to maintain the military at the same levels as the coalition over the course of the next parliament", she said.

Terror groups

In January, Natalie Bennett suggested it should not be illegal to join terrorist groups because people should "not be punished for what they think".

She later appeared to backtrack on those comments.

When asked to clarify her party's policy, she said groups like Islamic State and al-Qaeda are "clearly hideous groups advocating and committing violence around the world".

She said any sort of support for those should be prosecuted "to the full extent of the criminal law".

But she added: "It's a question of what sort of organisation we're talking about", arguing that Nelson Mandela's South African party, the ANC, was once "wrongly classed as a terrorist organisation".

Tax

The leader was also asked if the Green Party's "astronomical tax rises" would push the richest people out of the UK, leaving us with less tax revenue.

The Greens want to take 60p in tax from every pound in earnings over £150,000.

Natalie Bennett said: "The rich are actually people too, they have children in schools, they have lives, they have friends, they have families.

"It's really only fair and reasonable that they pay their way, what they get in return is a better society, better roads, better policing, better public services and that means they're in a better place."

Talking about a crackdown on multinational companies evading tax, she added: "These companies have to pay their way. We cannot continue with this situation where they're not paying their taxes when many of their workers are on less than the living wage on zero hours contracts".

Housing

On why the Greens want to abolish the Right-to-Buy scheme (for social housing at discounted rates) and Help to Buy schemes, Ms Bennett said she wanted to houses to be seen as homes, rather than financial assets.

She said the UK had lost 1.5 million social homes for rent through Right to Buy, adding that 1.8 million people are currently on the social housing waiting list.

"Now you have a situation where people are getting housing benefit to pay very expensive private rates on what were once council homes."

She said: "What we want to do is build 5000 homes for social rent. For people in private rentals we want to cap rent rises".

Rudeness

If you watched the TV debate between the seven main party leaders, you may have noticed Natalie Bennett raising her voice.

That's something Duncan, a young entrepreneur from Manchester wasn't impressed with. He asked if the leader had set a good example.

Natalie Bennett explained that the show's presenter had indicated it was time for her to speak, but two male leaders (David Cameron and Nigel Farage) had been talking over her.

"I can either meekly subside or I can say hang on a minute this is supposed to be my turn", she argued.
