GP (UK) as party separate from Ecology and PEOPLE
editIt 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
editIirc, 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)
