After careful consideration, I have decided to mothball pEp and our current campaigns and join the Green Party. Unlike pEp, dual memberships are not allowed under their rules, and as there are no volunteers to take over from me, I am freezing our accounts. If the Green Party wins the next general election, they will introduce Proportional representation. It would then be a good time to bring back the Progressive Party. Short of finding a millionaire backer without PR, we are unlikely to make any inroads into the political landscape. The Green Party is the only other progressive party, and many of its manifesto commitments are the same as ours, so it is an easy move. I intend to stand for them in our local elections next May, and I will be going to my first local Green Party meeting tonight.
I would like to thank all our followers, members and everyone who has interacted with us over the years. Philip Notley, Party Leader.
