I have no clue Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 They're not much different to large amount of socialist and green parties across Europe. Of course they're going to have a few over idealized policies being a grass roots movement, which people are free to disagree with. The SNP seem in tune with a lot of policies, mainly trident. I didn't think there was an open membership for these terrorists organizations that you can sign up to anyway. You have to make contact and enter these rings, which I'm sure would complicate someone in terror laws under green policy, like it does now.

Plus the fact they're never going to get in anyway. I agree with some of their policies and disagree with others. Personally I'd like them to have a say in a government as they have some good ideas. I'd take that article with a pinch of salt as well considering it comes from a politically conservative newspaper! Maybe check the actual green party web site...

chipdawg Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Some of its bonkers, some of it is quite appealing and some of it is plain misrepresented by the Telegraph, whom I don't think we could expect to provide a balanced portrait of such a left wing organisation. It's no more barmy than some of the stuff UKIP have come out with in recent years, though obviously very different. I won't be voting for them because while I'm 'environmentally aware', I don't think government policy should be driven mainly by environmentalism. I reckon they're going to have a say in the next government though Interesting that no one seems to have picked up on the 'all football teams will be owned by cooperative' policy, which as a stand alone policy would be very appealing to many of those on herw who've expressed a disliking of Bristol Sport and modern, Premier League-era football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esmond Million's Bung Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 The template is Brighton and you would think the one thing that a green MP and green council could and should get right is recycling and they are at or near the bottom of that particular league, they are nutters like their Lib Dem mates happy to inflict the dangers of the few upon the many, but not where they live.

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 So that's an unbiased analysis by that famous organ of common sense and rational thought, with absolutely no political bias at all, the Daily Telegraph. I note that the Green Party's perfectly reasonable (thought not necessarily right) policy on animal welfare is described under a headline 'Vegetarianism for all'. A paragraph about their transport policy is headed 'Death of Duty Free'. Well, I thought duty free was pretty much dead already, but actually Duty Free isn't even mentioned in the following paragraph. A paragraph describing the Green Party's views on sport is illustrated with Beyonce's cleavage. The Telegraph really is a nasty little paper. Don't be taken in by it.

Scrumpylegs Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I can see a lot of similarities to UKIP here in the respect that this is what happens when 'single issue' parties attempt to explain what else they stand for. Essentially, beyond their own particular issue they don't really know (or care) it would seem and fill the 'void' with absolute drivel!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair there would be less reason for Drug Dens if drugs were decriminalized and people were not marginalized. Also aren't brothels with some form of regulation preferably to vulnerable women being out on the street? Where they are also easier to help.

To be fair a political party who call them the 'green party' and cannot even get that one little thing bit right in Brighton, just imagine those dozy bints being allowed to regulate brothels and drug cafe's, not to mention all those lovely jihadist's, ******* dreamers.

Brighton aren't the only council to have a dispute with the refuse collectors; Labour controlled Glasgow recently had exactly the same, and I seem to recall rubbish piling up in Bristol's streets under a previous Tory controlled council period here. The thing with Green councillors, as with many Ukip ones, is these relatively new parties do not have the infrastructure that the "big 3" have, and many of their candidates - vetted by people who are themselves politically inexperienced - will be incompetents or even nutters. I'm not adverse to the central, core message of the green movement, but I live in the countryside. Under the party's proposed road use taxation, rural dwellers would be unfairly penalised over city motorists, whose shorter stop-start commutes actually contribute far more to pollution levels. The countryside would die under such a law, becoming exclusively the preserve of the wealthy, the retired and the odd smug self-employed craft potter, looking like Yoffi off of Finger Bobs.

If the "core element" you talk about is recycling, then that is because the council is in dispute with its refuse contractors - as other councils have been in the past. When they took over the running of Brighton the Greens found they were tied into contracts and working practices that they would not necessarily have agreed to themselves. Getting past this has lead to disputes with contractors and their workforce. It doesn't mean "the Greens can't even sort out recycling". That was my point. And I'm not sure what that would have to do with Caroline Lucas? She doesn't run the council, or even the Green Party any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The refuse dispute and the recycling embarrassment are 2 totally different issues, the refuse dispute is over pay and conditions and the recycling debacle is just incompetence. in fact their time in power in Brighton reads like a Dallas storyline with in the infighting amongst them, their meat free mondays and gender free toilets went down a storm as well.

One of the excuses put forward by the strained greens was because there aren't many largish gardens in Brighton, a lot of composting is not going on adding to the problem, politicians being full of shit doesn't help much either.

bucksred Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Ah yes, this is the party which brought you the too many hired killers around on armed Forces Day in Brighton last year....re vets and serving members.... just one of many ****** ideas they have.... still a lot of students like their ideas so thats alright innit? One question to all the green types, just what the **** do you do for employment for all those sectors you dont like/want? Aerospace/space, the Motor Industry, the finance Sector, Power Sector? there are only so many jobs in the green sector....and Ive not mentioned Logistics, shipping, Defence Industry, the Armed Forces? Oh and how you power homes for the whole UK with whats needed? Or how the **** if you pan imported TVs phones etc how you supply affordable ones for the povo? Ive never heard anything remotely credible from them and Ive asked a few of um, they are like Tories on Corporate Governance/the EU, Liebour on Immigration/Defence & the EU, Lib Dumbs on Tuition fees, Security, Defence & the EU, the UKIP shower, SNP, Plaid Cymru and Sinn Fein on Any******* thing.... Just asking like...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#TerraceLad Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Right ideas in some areas, but horriblly wrong when it comes to financial credibility. Bristol West is the second most likly Green seat in the country, a Labour-Liberal-Green marginal, should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
