As Secretary of Green Left and Secretary of the Green Party
Trade Union Group I wish to add support from these groups to Natalie Bennett's
stance on migration. The letter from Sandy Irvine et al grossly misrepresents
opinion within the Green Party and indeed wider opinion on this topic, (has
nobody heard of the work of authors such as Fred Pearce and Danny Dorling (not
as far as I know, GP members) who suggest that population alarmism is misplaced).
When combined with despicable attempts to whip up
anti-immigrant xenophobia, population alarmism lends itself to a first world
first agenda and distracts attention
from the real cases of global economic and ecological crises. I now look
forward to being accused of attempting to 'shut down' debate on population
which is the usual response of Irvine et al to any criticism of their
obsessional stance.
