Thanet Green Councillor, Ian Driver, has welcomed the huge surge
in membership of the Green Party, making the Greens with 47,000 members the
third largest UK wide political party ahead of UKIP and the Lib Dems. In Thanet
the membership has trebled in the past
six months to 100 and support grows daily.
Driver, the Green Party Parliamentary Candidate for Thanet South said: "While the establishment continue to claim that the Green Party is not a major party but the Lib Dems and UKIP are, we are not only polling higher than the Lib Dems but we have more members than either party.
"We had an MP four years before UKIP and we now have more MEPs than the Lib Dems. Despite the establishment wanting to silence us, there is a Green revolution happening.
"I welcome all our new members in Thanet and across Kent. With this rapidly growing support we can get Green Councillors elected to Thanet Council this year and begin to transform it into an open and transparent organisation which is accountable to the people. We may even have some Green MPs elected, including here in Thanet. Events are showing that the old fashioned political parties are collapsing. Its time for modern 21st century parties with fresh new ideas to run the council and the country”
