The BNP are too significant players in British politics to brush aside as irrelevant Nazi cranks or a miniscule nuisance group nowadays.

As cassie has previously stated, what is the definition of this 'alliance', and what is its purpose?

Significant? If holding some seats on local councils counts as 'significant' watch out for those independents - my God they're huge!

I just wanted for people to work together. I was thinking of a coalition so if we get enough votes between us we can take control a Council

Part 1: The Green Vision for Europe
EU100 In our Green vision for Europe we seek to replace the unsustainable economics of free trade and growth with the ecological alternative of local self reliance and resource conservation, within a context of wider diversity. We want to foster co-operation on issues of common interest, not establish international institutions for their own sake.

EU101 We recognise the value of the original goal of the founders of the European Communities, who sought to remove the threat of another war between European states. This has been distorted by vested political and economic interests into a union dominated by economic interests, which lacks democratic control, and promotes the goals of multinational corporations, not of people.

Structures
EU110 To achieve the Green vision, Europe will need very different structures from those currently in existence. Europe should be made up of overlapping, co-operative, democratic, decentralised groupings of nations and regions.

EU111 European institutions must be designed with care and with mechanisms for correction, to prevent the drift towards centralism that has repeatedly been seen in history.

EU112 Part of the way to do this is to have a multiplicity of independent bodies with clearly defined areas of responsibility, and with the possibility of membership by different groups of nations and regions. An example is the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe for conflict resolution. (See Part 5)

EU113 Europe must not become a super-state or global power bloc.

UKIP dont need to buddy up to anyone,what they need to do is get the message across of what they are all about.Something they have failed to do.They are still seen by many as a one policy party.

The Greens ? The political wing of the tree huggers society

From Page One . . .

>> We believe that if the EU is to have a currency and an economic policy, it must be possible for the people of the EU to change it as a result of an election.

>> To dramatically revise the structure of the Commission, by making all the staff accountable.

>> To democratise all the institutions of the EU.

The Greens are not against the EU in principle are they?

mkpdavies · 28-04-2008, 09:42 PM

They seem to be for an EU that could never exist in reality.

Populist Lee · 28-04-2008, 09:48 PM

So that makes the Greens either

FOOLS?

or

KNAVES?

mkpdavies · 28-04-2008, 09:50 PM

A mixture of both?

Populist Lee · 28-04-2008, 09:55 PM

Yes, I would say so.
