English Green
–
The next group to join the Liberty Wall is English Green. Many people regard the Green Party as a melon, green on the outside and red on the in. They, and many of their compatriots on the Continent, adopt far-left positions on all manner of topics which sometimes make them indistinguishable from many other socialist groups/parties. Ecology however goes, or should, beyond positions of left or right and it is not necessary to be a socialist to protect the environment. Indeed some would suggest that socialism’s obsession (as with capitalism) with growth (differing only in how it is shared) is part of the problem rather than the solution.
ENGLISH GREEN – a realist green movement – for all the people and animals and environment of England! The brainchild is Tim Bragg and co-author of the booklet ‘A Declaration and Philosophy of Progressive Nationalism’ which calls for the synthesis of (progressive) nationalism and green ideology (it can be purchased via http://nationalliberal.org/the-party-organisation/articles). If you believe a nation’s environment is as important as its people but want a non-socialist vehicle to put that idea into practice then click on the banner to find out more!
