Good indicators for the WAG elections

Our Celtic cousins, the Scottish Greens are on the march again and prove that the added dimension of a strong nationalist party need not be a insurmountable obstacle to Green electoral success.

This backs up continued good news in the latest opinion polls in Wales that continue to indicate that we are on course to secure our first WAG AM.

And for those that may think that electoral success could lead to compromising our ideals and radical policies, Caroline Lucas says, in her New Year message to the Party:

Politics does not have to be a straight choice between power and principles. In our election campaign in May, the Greens did not drop any of our radical policies. We stuck to what we believed in and against all the odds we won our first seat in Westminster. It shows that if you tell the truth and offer people something better, the public will respond. And this is what we must keep on doing. We must carry our message to the growing numbers of people abandoned by the Conservatives, disillusioned by Labour and betrayed by the Lib Dems. We must grow the Green Party as the radical progressive alternative, and give ourselves a louder voice than ever before.
