Nevertheless he does have some very good ideas and it is well worth Liberals reading his stuff, anyway a chap who is a fan of Elinor Ostrom can’t be all bad.<br /><br />But I digress, Mr Brean is the authentic voice of ‘green Greens’ and Dr Wall is the voice of red Greens. Mr Brean is echoing Ms Scott-Cato the Green Party’s economic spokesperson. http://gaianeconomics.blogspot.com/2010/09/living-within-our-means.html<br />http://greeneconomist.org/files/greeneconomist/general/1living_within_means.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606798.post-42863773854655269472011-02-15T10:24:46.881+00:002011-02-15T10:24:46.881+00:00The Green Party don`t exist where I live, so it`s ...The Green Party don`t exist where I live, so it`s no big thing to me whether Mr Brean leaves them or not.<br /><br />His reasons do throw up an important issue though - it`s quite true that a blanket `no cuts` position can in fact turn out to be reactionary under certain circumstances.<br /><br />I`m guessing you`re not a big Morning Star reader, but `Fending oFf a Right-Wing Onslaught : Gregor Gall Calls for Measured Reflection About Public Services` (MS 30 July 2010) is useful.
