Bronwen Maher "Review of Fianna Fáil/Green coalition government"

Bronwen Maher has written an opinion piece on the Irish Green Party in Government for Red Pepper Magazine in the UK. The article was written late December 2009 in time for Red Pepper’s current edition.

Details of the article are on Bronwen's blog.

From the article ... "The Greens strategy has been to define the party’s policy as a narrow environmental one and appears to have ditched its equality and social justice platforms moving the party to a more centrist Green-lite position. Its minor environmental gains while admirable have been dwarfed by its support for massive bail-outs of financial institutions coupled with draconian cuts to the most vulnerable. In essence, the Greens are perceived as upholding policies that support the most culpable to the detriment of the most vulnerable."
