Green party must avoid being taken over by hard left, says former leader

Adrian Ramsay says some new members would be ‘more at home’ in Your Party or Socialist Workers party The former Green party leader Adrian Ramsay has said the party must fix its internal democracy to avoid a takeover by the hard left, saying that some new members “might be more at home” in Your Party or the Socialist Workers party. Ramsay, who has been critical of the handling of the row over a “Zionism is racism” motion passed at the Green party conference, said there were a “small number” of individuals who used “divisive” tactics to influence the party’s agenda.
