Latin America faces the greatest threat to its democracy in decades (International, 7 November). The military coup that overthrew elected president Manual Zelaya and seized power in Honduras in June is now seeking to legitimise its illegal government through the international recognition of elections on 29 November. Such recognition would give a green light to opponents of democracy throughout the...

I thought this might be of interest in particular to the many members of Lewisham's Tamil community who marched in London last weekend calling for an end to the detention in camps of many thousands of civilians in Sri Lanka. The European Parliament yesterday passed a resolution calling for the rapid return of the 250,000 detainees still held in camps in northern Sri Lanka following the defeat of the...

By Jessica Asato / @Jessica_Asato Paul Richards’ excellent Friday column is very persuasive in its case against inviting Nick Griffin onto its flagship political programme. I have to admit feeling building panic as, after watching QT, I read comment after comment on the BBC’s Have Your Say page saluting Griffin’s bravery and railing against immigration. No doubt the BNP’s support...

Originally posted at Matt Sellwood For Hackney I've already written a little about the excellent work of Hackney's Green Party representatives - Jean Lambert in the European Parliament, and our two London Assembly Members at City Hall. I have been remiss, however, in not yet pointing to the excellent work being done by Hackney's existing Green Party borough councillor - Mischa Borris. Alone, she provides...

Just seen this piece by Caroline Lucas The military coup which took place in Honduras on 28 June this year was 2009’s first such Central American coup. Following the installation of a de facto government, the EU firmly condemned the and made it clear that all negotiations for a preferential trade pact were to be suspended until the return of the ousted President Zelaya. I was therefore shocked...

At the Green Party’s conference in Hove tomorrow (Sat 5th September), Jean Lambert, London’s Green MEP since 1999, will lead a strategy discussion about shaping a Green Party response to the far right — now that it has won seats in the UK at the local, regional and European levels. The session will draw on this [...]

Obviously there aren't too many Tory voters in these parts (well, fewer than Green Party ones anyway) - and whenever their elected representatives risk opening their mouths I remember why. The latest outburst, coming from local Member of the European Parliament Daniel Hannan, has to send a chill down your spine, really. According to a report in The Argus, duffer Dan has publicly let slip his penchant...

Summer is my main opportunity to read all that research put aside during the year when I was travelling around Europe in one European Works Council meeting after another. It is a chance to think about the future. Also, in my case, it's a chance to make sense of all the changes in Brussels. 2009 is going to be a significant year for many things European. We have already had the European Parliament elections....

Hi All, Well the Progressive Politics blog isn't dead after all ! It is fair to say that the Green Party does have some impressive figures elected to public office, most especially the persuasive and media-friendly Caroline Lucas. I rather like Jean Lambert and Peter Tatchell too. However, it is also fair to say that the local Greens and I are as unimpressed with other as could be. I'll leave it at...

Derek Wall, former Principal Speaker “Working with Tracy has been a real pleasure, she is a dedicated individual with an impressive commitment to the Green Party and green politics. I believe her work over the last year has improved the Party’s media work considerably and has put us firmly on course for our best General Election result ever. “I particularly appreciate the press work...

Scratch Jean Lambert, get Lavrentiy Beria; Green politicians are totalitarians in the making, just itching to refound a carbon-neutral Gulag Archipelago. This, anyway, is the position of Times hack Antonia Senior, who has obviously given the matter a great deal of thought. Her stark warning must be heeded at once by anyone naïve enough to cast [...]
