The Tories selected a new Brighton Pavilon candidate by an open primary, just noticed this comment from one of their members “I thought the whole process was a bit long winded, they could have narrowed it down to less candidates and a shorter time each. It was extremely difficult to choose. Everyone around me said they didn’t know who to vote for. I think Charlotte Vere has got a very tough...

For a long time in Brighton Pavilion, Labour has been shadowboxing. We've had our own fabulous candidate Nancy Platts for two and a half years. The Tories chose David Bull initially and he didn’t really make a mark. The Greens have chosen Belgium based Caroline Lucas and she unsurprisingly continues to be largely absent (she's [...]

Although this post over at the Guardian by Beatrix Campbell doesn't actually say why she thinks the Green party is suitable to her communist beliefs, that seems to be the case. It is titled "Why I turned from red to Green", and is written by a communist, who has just been selected to fight a London seat for them next year. The menace of the Green party is serious. It is possible that their...

No wonder the public think Labour is as bad at tackling poverty as the Tories ( Labour is no longer seen as champion of the poor, poll shows , 17 November). Inequality has increased under Labour as it did under Thatcher. Neither party has been able to come up with a proper recovery package to tackle the recession. And both are equally gloomy, and equally wrong, in their view that public spending cuts...

Across England and Wales in the General Election to come there will be three parties slugging it out and it's not unreasonable to expect all MPs from these areas to come exclusively from Labour, the Conservatives and the Lib Dems. As far as I am aware, the three parties who have the best chance of messing with this expectation are the Green Party, UKIP and, sadly, the BNP. For the Greens, although...

Rail travellers have been paying the price for failed privatisation again, in the face of hundreds of cancelled trains between London and Brighton - with all the attendant delay and inconvenience - over the last few days. Drivers employed by First Capital Connect - the private company that runs trains on the Thameslink line between Brighton and Bedford - have been refusing to work overtime in a dispute...

Sometimes something unexpected happens in politics which re-affirms your belief in the political bedfellows you keep - I came across a small but heartening example of this yesterday, while musing over the Government's latest draconian attack on Internet freedom and discovering that the Green Party has been resisting it at EU level. Last week, Busimness Secretary Peter Mandelson, fresh from holidaying...

The Morning Star - rabble-rousing paper of record for the left leaning - has dubbed the Green Party 'a force to be reckoned with'. In a profile of newly elected Hove Green party Councillor Alex Phillips (pictured), the paper finds an 'articulate, well presented, striking and passionate' socialist who was attracted to the Green Party by its human rights and social policies - not the environment at all....

I've now written to both the Green MEP in my region, Caroline Lucas, and my MP, Humfrey Malins. My e-mail to Caroline Lucas was fairly straightforward to write. Firstly, she's an MEP, and thus European-level matters are more directly relevant to her interests. Additionally, the Commission have been ignoring direct calls, by MEPs, lead by the Green Party, for more transparency in ACTA, so I know that...
