<3 Mark Thomas. The Green Party is the nearest thing we have to what is left of a political party in the UK. Spin doctors and CEOs in political power have proved that they cannot keep the country going, Greens are the only ones who seem to come up with any solutions. Shame they are drowned out by the noise of the others.

Green Nazis? Don't be a twat mate.

Mark Thomas is always working for positive, progressive change. Thinking we're gonna 'smash the state' in the next couple of years by waving some red and black flags around and refusing to vote is unrealistic.

Voting for a political party doesn't automatically destroy your credentials as an anarchist. Thomas is just working in the right direction.

The 'Green' Party?! Yes, that's what the decline of civilisation needs to save the day! What complete and utter nonsense.

All of you should be shot.

I was surprised when I found out today my step dad was one of Mark's best mates in school

I voted green, did fuck all, stupid system electoral system, 1% of us voted for Green in the last election, that's worthy of 6 seats, what happened? They got 1 and only due to the fact that luckily Brighton's full of sensible students who care.

@juliangibson those waving red&black flags(apart from lifestylists types ) not only do take part in demonstrations but they also try to create community&workplace organizations with a libertarian praxis , your generalization about anarchists is pretty misleading.

And i mean if anarchists have to vote for a party, they'd be voting for independent socialist working class candidates, not for a bourgeois party like the Green Party which supports 'capitalism with a human face'

Poor green party, I am american but I gotta feel for the guy who has his party endorsed by Mark Thomas.

@CaledoniaProductions

The founding Fathers of the UK?

What, the Romans?

The Celts?

The Saxons...Vikings...Normans...S­tuarts, hanoverians,

Or perhaps Oliver Cromwell A Nepotist, puritan dictator? Disraeli, Lloyd George, Churchill... all pretty varied, huh

We arent america, We dont have founding fathers, ..

I just looked Mark Thomas up on Wikipedia. Apparently in a 1999 interview he described himself as a libertarian anarchist. And yet he's voting Green Party!!!!

I am sick to death of the Neo Cons taking my money and giving it to there friends! David Cameron, Borris Johnson........etc

I think Mark knows the real truth is. That is that the Greens are the least worst of a horrid bunch. The Labour party were authoritarian, interfering and pro-capitalist long before Blair came on the scene. The Lib Dems believe in an abstract oxymoronic 'humane capitalism' The bottom line is we can't rely on the democratic state to change things. We need to bypass it by organising ourselves at community level, resisting the capitalist state, and building new forms of co-operation.
