In line with the launch of our Strategic Development Plan 2012-16, the Green Party is reviewing all current policies. As new policies are agreed by our Policy Groups, they will be made available here.

All Green Party policies are based on the founding principles of the Green Party, which are:

o The impact of society on the environment should not be ecologically disruptive.

o Conservation of resources is vital to a sustainable society.

o All political, social and economic decisions should be taken at the lowest effective level.

o Society should be guided by self-reliance and co-operation at all levels.

o As caretakers of the Earth, we have the responsibility to pass it on in a fit and healthy state.

o The need for world peace overrides national and commercial interests.

o The poverty of two-thirds of the world's family demands a redistribution of the world's resources.
