The Green Party in the United Kingdom is a democratic organisation in which their members from all walks of life and not only professional politicians, decide on policy. The policy process produces an organic and evolving document known as ‘Policies for a Sustainable Society or PSS, that reflects the party’s current priorities and principles. In its Green vision for Europe, outlined in this policy, the party seeks to replace the unsustainable economics of free trade and unrestricted growth with the ecological alternative of local self reliance and resource conservation, within a context of wider diversity and to foster co-operation on issues of common interest.
