Mapping out the Green party’s future | Letters

Adam Ramsay's sincerity cannot be doubted (The Greens can still reshape Britain's political landscape, 17 May). He eloquently puts the case for a better society. The problem is the way he proposes to get there.

Despite statements to the contrary, the Green party has never been a leftwing party. Common ownership of the means of production is not party policy. It does share common values of fairness and mutualism with liberals, social democrats and some socialists. But that doesn't of itself make the party leftwing.
