Description

Kevin Murphy interviews Sara Parkin at the Green Party conference in Wolverhampton. The event has taken on an increased significance following the party’s dramatic showing at the European elections in 06/89. Party members rejected a plan for an electoral alliance with Labour and the Democrats to try and push through proportional representation, but Parkin say she does not regard the vote as a defeat.
