The next meeting of the East Devon Green Party takes place in Ottery St Mary on Wednesday 31st March 2010 at 7.30pm. The venue is to be confirmed (I’ll add it on here as soon as we’ve got our venue booked).  Please add a comment below if you are hoping to come and please add where you are based and whether you are looking for a lift or can offer a car to share. We advise you use the traveline website to find bus times/routes.

Everyone is very welcome. Come and find out more about the Green Party, our election campaign and how you can help us help East Devon. Our Ottery meeting will give Green Party members and supporters the opportunity to discuss the proposed supermarket application in the town.

We are a very new group – only set up in Jan 2010 but we already have over 40 people on our supporters list and several active members. Our East Devon group covers the constituency of East Devon & half of the Tiverton & Honiton constituency.

The East Devon Green group encompasses the areas of Exmouth, Budleigh Salterton, Sidmouth, Honiton, Ottery St Mary, Axminster and Seaton. If you would like to be added to our emailing list to receive updates, agenda’s etc – please email me sdpavey@googlemail.co.uk

I am hoping to stand for the general election in the spring if we can get an East Devon group off the ground – PLEASE help us make this happen. Get in touch. That’s me at the bottom with one of my chickens!

The Green Party is the only party that has the policies to tackle head-on the economic crisis and at the same time lay the foundations for a sustainable and fair society.

Life on Earth is under immense pressure. It is human activity, more than anything else, which is threatening the well-being of the environment on which we depend. Conventional politics has failed us because its values are fundamentally flawed. The Green Party isn’t just another political party. Green politics is a new and radical kind of politics guided by core principles like building a sustainable society that guarantees our long-term future.

Humankind depends on the diversity of the natural world for its existence. Green Party members do not believe that other species are expendable. Our actions should also take account of the well-being of other nations, other species, and future generations. We should not pursue our well-being to the detriment of theirs.

A healthy society is based on voluntary co-operation between empowered individuals in a democratic society, free from discrimination whether based on race, colour, gender, sexual orientation, religion, social origin or any other prejudice. The Green Party believes in democratic participation and accountability by ensuring that decisions are taken at the closest practical level to those affected by them.
