SIR – Re John Phillpott’s Saturday feature ‘Do all our struggles mean so little now?’ (Worcester News, May 21).
Yes, the Green Party supports our country being in the European Union but we believe it must be reformed to be more democratic and people centred.
We believe in Europe, but not in a European superstate.
We want to foster cooperation on issues of common interest, not establish international institutions for their own sake.
Accordingly, we are critical of many of the objectives built in to the EU treaties and of the EU institutions and how they work.
We believe many things done and decided in Europe might better be done by member states or by regions.
So while we are members of the EU we will work for its fundamental reform.
Finally, I can assure John that the eating of lentils is not essential to being a member of the Green Party.
Louis Stephen
Worcester Green Party
