The Green Party parliamentary members have voted nine in favour with three abstentions to take the Programme for Government document to a membership vote. “If the Green Party enters government, our overriding concern will be with verifiable implementation of our policies. No member of the Green Party would wish to belong to a government that’s not enthusiastically and realistically delivering a green agenda. Notably, the secretary of the party’s policy council, Harry McEvansoneya tweeted the document was "grossly inadequate" and urged Green Party members to vote it down. It's understood an email will be sent to Green Party members tomorrow, for members to register for the special convention on Thursday, or apply for an absentee ballot.
