The Green conferance is starting today.
From the Green Party website about their convention.
Getting There: Trains will leave from Heston to Galway on Friday 23rd Feb at 11.10 (arrive 13.51); 14.30 (17.11) 16.50 (19.16); 17.50 (20.30) & 19.05 (21.48).
Where is Heston you ask? Well according to Wikipedia is it a a place in the London Borough of Hounslow. So I think you might have to change at Gatwick.

techPresident – The Future of Campaign Technology: The Ground Game
Irish Parties looking at learning online and database lessons from Obama could do worse than bear this post in mind. Almost as soon as the election is over, improvements and evolution are making some parts redundant and others essential. Get your campaign an i-phone for everyone? Might be better than printing flyers, it goes to show how parties, if they take it seriously, need to keep ahead of the wave - not just follow.
Colman at the EuroTrib give his reasoning on why Lisbon is dead. The Government's incapable handling of the budget cuts are the nail in the coffin.
Fine Gael’s Leo Varadkar offers his view on how the SBP Opinion Poll would translate in an election.
Think tank: Time for democracy to click into place
Dan Sullivan gets himself into The Sunday Times, calling for the internet to connect citizens to a more meaningful democracy. Its an argument I agree with wholeheartedly myself. Have a read and let him know what you think.
Colm Burke MEP reckons that we need to get honest and tell people we will be holding a second Lisbon Vote in Oct 2009 with protocols desigend to secure a yes vote.
That would be a typing error. Like spelling conference conferance.
Well the green philosophy is that little Ireland should martyr itself for their global cause. The idea being that once the Irish economy is destroyed the Americans Chinese, British etc will feel soooo guilty about taking all our jobs that they will be converted to the Green cause. I’m sure there is also some idea that if the Irish are converted to their environmentalist preaching then the Irish jobless migrants once again arriving in their thousands into London will be able to act like Irish Monks in the middle ages spreading the Green Gospel across Europe. Being good environmentalists the Green Party future proofed the press release by assuming they would be in power after the next election and took this mass exodus into account when printing it.
Despite the typo, it seems most Green Party delegates were able to find their way to the correct train station - check out the party’s convention blog (linked above) for photographic proof. I will be contributing regular updates to the blog over the course of the weekend.
How is this worthy of a post? all in all this blog is very disappointing.
I started reading at the start of the year in the hope of finding discussions beyond what is found in the main media.
But alas this is the last post I read, sorry.
I think you’ll find you’re in a minority there DavidD. You can always set up your own rival website if you think you can do so much better.
