Lets Not Get Side-tracked

Every now and then, I lose faith in Green politics.
We have a tendency to sometimes get side tracked in
unimportant things and infighting. The GPEW
leadership farce has been a good example of this
recently. I really can't believe that some people
want to split the party over that! Of course, it is
important to have a leadership structure that works
well for the party and somehow reflects our ideology
but, honestly, the Green Party exists to tackle some
of the biggest problems that humanity faces: climate
change, social injustice, among others.
So it was very encouraging to go along to a FYEG seminar on migrant youth in Helsinki last week. Hearing from the speakers who were invited, and meeting other young greens from around Europe was inspiring. Us British can often be too inward looking. I think it is important that we face outwards and participate with our neighbours, learning from them along the way. Anyway, enough of the epic speech style of writing. Its time to be green!
