Talk:Green parties in the United Kingdom

GP (UK) as party separate from Ecology and PEOPLE

edit

It seems to me this page (and those it links to) gives an inaccurate impression. The Green Party (UK) was not a 'successor' to the Ecology Party - the Party simply re-named itself, with the same constitution, structure, policies, etc. Can it be re-worked to sort that out? I presume that the 'PEOPLE' to Ecology Party was similar, in that 'Manifesto for a Sustainable Society' (as it was then called) showed continuity across the change.

By contrast, the move from Liberal Party to Liberal Democrats was a two stage process. In 1988 a new party was set up, with new aims and a new structure, called the "Social and Liberal Democrats", and later it re-named itself the Liberal Democrats (see Liberal_Democrats#Founding). The name "Social and Liberal Democrats", and the subsequent name change, is almost totally ignored by wikipedia: name changes are minor issues compared to the structural issues.

European Green Party - candidates at EuroElect

edit

Iirc, candidates at EuroElect, while selected by GPEW/SGP/GreensIN are actually candidates of EGP, and could be members of any EGP member. Can anyone confirm/deny/provide a reliable source? DrArsenal (talk) 10:29, 9 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
