I am off to Oxford tomorrow for two days of meetings as a member of the Green Party's Regional Council, where I am one of the two regional councillors for London. All the regional representatives meet up and we hear about what is happening in other regions as well as reporting back on the various posts we hold on the Regional Council. I deal with Equalities and Diversity and will be reporting on developments within the party on disability issues, the LGBTIQ Group, ethnic minorities and an update on what Green Party Women have been doing. I am also presenting a strategy paper on the party's relations with the European Green Party and developments within the EGP.
However, the main business of the meeting this time will be the general election manfesto which the Regional Council has to review, amend and approve. Once the Regional Council has done this, then it is almost the last stage in the process. It is, of course, a top secret document and will only be revealed at the general election launch. We will also be joined on Sunday by the Chair of the Executive and the joint International Coordinators to discuss what is happening on the Executive and at international level. There is also a lot of internal party business to be carried out, including reports on disciplinary issues etc.
Any Green Party members in Oxford are welcome to join us over the two days, where we will be in the Oxford Youth Hostel. I am also looking forward to meeting up with one or two friends from the Oxford party.
