Green Party Out Of Ideas As It Turns To Members
The Green party has reportedly turned to its members to find a way out of the Lisbon impasse.
The party has ent an e-mail to its 2,100 members seeking their views on how to deal with the Lisbon Treaty defeat, and what steps the party should take.
Answers are to be given on a 'page' no bigger than if printed on a single A4 page, due to an expected large influx of responses.
The email asks: "What do you think the future of the Lisbon Treaty should be? What were the issues that you believe the Irish people had greatest concern about in the recent referendum?
"Could these issues be addressed in any way to address voters concerns and if so how might they be addressed (ie by means of protocol, declaration etc?)
Members are asked to send their responses to info@greenparty.ie (Subject: Lisbon Treaty) or by post to 16 Suffolk Street, Dublin 2, by August 25th.
A spokesperson for the Greens said their party wants to be in a position to offer pragmatic solutions to the current situation in the Autumn.
