The Lib Dems, in particular, should be ashamed of themselves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5889026769761133073.post-47449284664825043142010-07-23T09:27:49.953+01:002010-07-23T09:27:49.953+01:00Bang on Molly - this is an outrage!

Look it up on his website if not; it's a wonderful demonstration of just how anti-green this government is being.<br /><br />But if Jackson and his colleagues have been so easily cast aside, what else are they and others like them supposed to do? Your post says they should join those like yourself working for change outside the system. But the Green Party are working within the system, stressing the importance of Caroline's position in parliament now. Transition groups etc aren't exactly working for change outside of the system either, and whilst winning some important concessions in certain areas they've hardly revolutionised urban living to the required extent. Places like Lammas are truly inspirational, but they're vastly limited in their scale and have little resonance with the broader population. I'm intrigued by the strategic questions your post throws up, and would love to hear more on your thoughts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
