“Green Left
welcomes the move to discuss campaigning and electoral alliances leading up to
the next General Election.
Green Left has
always promoted the idea of working together with the left, where we share
values, and that, as much as possible the Green Party should be included in
this, lending support to and endorsing Eco-socialists who are members of other
parties. We did this by supporting Salma Yaqoob in parliamentary elections.
This needs further
discussion with members and we welcome consultations, about it, taking place.
Green Left members
with our positive standing amongst others on the Left are able to positively
engage people outside the GPEW who share
our values and therefore should take the initiative locally in promoting
discussions with individuals, progressive groups and other left parties, such
as the Jeremy Corbyn led Labour Party.
Any
left alliance must be committed to introducing PR for all future elections and
the’ Best Placed Left Candidate’ should be a consideration in marginal seats.”
