Are the Greens the new Left?
Talking With Tatchell

As Labour slides to the right, the Green Party is destined to displace Labour as the main left party of democracy, social justice, human rights, peace and environmental protection.
Opinion polls reveal a swell in public support for the Green Party.
Labour membership is massively down since 1997 and of those left in the Labour Party many have actively boycotted campaigning for the party with votes in the general election and local elections down.
The recent debacle over the goods, services and facilities regulations indicates how right the Labour Party has swung. And with no indication that Gordon Brown, who has never voted for any equalities legislation for the LGBT communities, will improve the situation, many people are joining the Greens.
The Green Party is the fastest growing and most effective progressive party in British politics. It already has nearly 100 local councillors, two MEPs, seven Members of the Scottish Parliament and two members of the London Assembly.

On his weekly TV programme, Talking With Tatchell, human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell interviews Derek Wall, the Principal Male Speaker of the Green Party.
