Will she run for the Green Party?


Well there are certain some very good Greens out there, despite my slight frustrations, with some who wear the colour.

looks increasingly likely that wonderful Marina da Silva will run as Green Party candidate in Brazil.

"I won't delay (the decision) as if it were a soap opera," Silva said, adding that she would contemplate the move until the middle of next week.

"The Green Party is proposing change and I'm interested in that change," she said.


She is a very solid ecosocialist and friend of Joel Kovel, the Brazilian ecosocialist network are good comrades.

oh and when her government said lets trash the Amazon she fought for it! Briliant, she could tell John Gormley a few things.

and a pretty impressive win in Scarborough from Nick Harvey, remember him being a young green in the 1980s
