The Green Party's National Spring congference is being held this week in Reading at the Town Hall.

The conference is probably the most ambitious Green agenda to date and will discuss such important topics such as: Addressing Issues of Gender in Asylum Claims; Wind Farms are the Future of Renewable Energy; Wind Farms are Destroying Our Green and Pleasant Land and Banning Pulses: Are Lentils Responsible for Global Warming? A few emergency motions have been tabled, but this has been largely put down to the falafel and tofu bake eaten by delgates on the first night.

One party member was upbeat about the Greens' chances at the next election: "Now that Rob White has had his hair cut it's difficult to distinguish Green Party members from normal human beings."
