The Green Party wants to use political power to make the economy fairer and greener

Jul 2, 2024 | leftfootforward.org | Molly Scott Cato

Time and again during this election campaign, under a barrage of scepticism about our spending plans, the Green Party’s leaders have responded that this election is about what kind of society we want to live in.
Serbia: A Measure of Relevance

Dec 4, 2023 | greeneuropeanjournal.eu | Gentiola Madhi |Kaya Genç |Hans Kundnani |Molly Scott Cato

Strategic migration control and ongoing negotiations over Kosovo complicate Serbian perceptions of EU accession, despite rising fears of environmental damage and youth violence. No one was alarmed when less than half of Serbians from last year’s government poll said that they would vote for their country to join the European Union. Media coverage was negligible. No politician voiced an opinion.
Red Light for the Green Deal?

Dec 4, 2023 | greeneuropeanjournal.eu | Viktoria Hubareva |Ben Ryan |Molly Scott Cato |Philippa Nuttall

The European Green Deal has set in motion far-reaching changes and achieved major successes, despite multiple global crises, towards a more sustainable European economy. But culture wars over agriculture, less ambitious industrial policies than those of the EU’s global competitors, and unmitigated social impacts risk slowing or stalling the bloc’s climate agenda. In December 2019, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen launched the European Green Deal.

Ending the monstrous dance of death in Gaza

Nov 6, 2023 | westcountryvoices.co.uk | Molly Scott Cato

ShareEmailTwitterFacebookHamas are winning in this latest appalling round of conflict in Israel-Palestine, whilst innocent Palestinians are losing their lives. Yes, their monstrous attacks on innocent civilians in southern Israel have been condemned by almost every country in the world, but they have surely reinforced their standing amongst extremists and bolstered their recruiting. What does a Hamas commander care that Biden condemns his actions?
What the Green Party wants from a Progressive Alliance

Sep 29, 2023 | compassonline.org.uk | Molly Scott Cato

I think it would be fair to say that the idea of a Progressive Alliance originated in Green circles. Caroline Lucas made the case following the miserable election result in 2015 and although she was later supported by Clive Lewis from Labour and Layla Moran from the Liberal Democrats, she spoke on behalf of our party and as its leader. The whole idea of a Progressive Alliance is typical of our cooperative way of doing politics; pluralism runs deep in our culture and values.
