What we stand for!
Party Principles
The Green Party/Comhaontas Glas adopted at its foundation
these seven principles by
consensus:
- The impact of society on the environment should not be
ecologically disruptive.
- Conservation of resources is vital to a sustainable society.
- All political, social and economic decisions should be
taken at the lowest effective level.
- Society should be guided by self-reliance and co-operation
at all levels.
- As caretakers of the Earth, we have the responsibility
to pass it on in a fit and healthy state.
- The need for world peace overrides national and commercial
interests.
- The poverty of two-thirds of the world's family demands
a redistribution of the world's resources.
These principles were elaborated and expanded in the revised
1997 Constitution.
We Are For...
- More decision-making at Community level.
- Open government.
- A basic income for all citizens.
- Renewable energy and Recycling.
- Full implementation of the Good Friday Agreement
- Workers' Co-ops and small family businesses.
- Emphasis on public transport.
- Non-violent direct action.
We Are Against...
- Pollution of air, sea and land.
- The depopulation of the countryside and over-crowding in
the cities.
- Control of industry by large national and multinational
companies.
- Nuclear weapons and nuclear power.
- Land and property speculation.
- Both state and paramilitary violence in Northern Ireland.
- The exploitation of the third world.
- Exploitation of animals.
