LETTER: GREEN PARTY'S DEATH HAS BEEN EXAGGERATED

I DISAGREE with Geoffrey Lean's patronising depiction of the Green Party as "doomsters", "loonies" and "hippies".

What about the Energy Conservation Act of last year? Or the Road Traffic Reduction Bill campaign, run with Friends of the Earth and Plaid Cymru? Or the challenge to the three party consensus on the globalist free trade agenda?

It is true that there are some eccentrics and that the party has never matched its 1989 result. However, the wealth of ideas and enthusiasm I've found are not typical of a party heading for "extinction".
