Green party selects candidates for 2014 European elections
We all know the phrase 'the early bird catches the worm', but the Green party seem to have taken it to new extremes.
Keen to prove that they think about the long game the Green party have selected their candidates fr the European election in 2014.
Peter Cranie, who topped the list in 2009, and Gina Dowding, a former Lancaster city councillor, will be leading the list, with the aim of gaining their first ever MEP.
In 2009 Cranie narrowly missed out on becoming an MEP and instead we got BNP leader Nick Griffin instead.


It's time the greens won a seat in the north west constituency! Let's show Nick Griffin that he is not welcome in the north west.
These are 2 excellent candidates. Greens were 0.3% behind the BNP last time. Just a few more votes this time and Nick Griffin will be out of Europe.
