Reason no 1 is the watering down of EU chemicals Legislation (REACH) these are the main reasons why I and many Green party members are voting no to Lisbon and why we refused to campaign for a yes vote. these are the main reasons why I and many Green party members are voting no to Lisbon and why some of us campaigned for a NO vote. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4I invite above signed members and supporters of Green Party to leave their party, good luck.
Patricia McKenna is refusing to leave. They'll have to kick her out to stop her attending party conferences and trying to bring some sense of integrity and bravery back into the party. I'm sure Gormley would love all the die-hard greens to leave, and then he'd have a party that has a green veneer, but a Fianna Fail soul...
I know some Greens who are opposed to the Eu police state and nuclear power and who were campaigning for a no vote, a few of them mentioned the chemicals regulations that the EU allowed to be muzzled. On balance it is better that they oppose their opportunist leaders and fight them on the inside I am not sure if a breakaway green party is feasible , however if the leadership runs with lisbon 2 (and I would not trust them as far as they could be thrown) ther might be a parting of the ways or Greens against lisbon2 ?
One thing in your argument against the Lisbon treaty stood out - to stop further nuclear plants. Why? Do you prefer to choke the atmosphere with C02 as there is no cleaner alternative, at least medium term then fission reactors. Have you not read the sane and logical arguments put forward by one of the planets true friends James Lovelock?
It never ceases to amaze me that so called greens are so blinkered and stupid as not to see that the only solution that can be put into operation in less then 10years to at least half co2 emissions is the nuclear option.
Our precious Earth can handle nuclear waste, even accidents, much more readily then the slow suffocation by c02 emissions and the resulting warming its causing now, and the huge extinctions (including most of mankind) that we are facing into now.
But no, keep waffling about 'renewables' which are non starters. Just look at 'bio fuels' for example.
When will ye wake up???
