Green Party smash their own system

Last week the Green Party announced that their membership has soared to 52,000, thanks to a little help from the free publicity awarded to them by the Prime Minister over the leaders’ debate.

However, Steerpike hears that all is not well at Green Party HQ, or their ‘National Office’ as the non-hierarchical collective delicately call it.

‘Our systems have crashed,’ Green peer Jenny Jones was heard loudly proclaiming at their press conference this morning. ‘They can’t cope with the numbers.’

Well that’s certainly one meaning to revolutionary cries of ‘smash the system,’ there was Mr S thinking that you couldn’t go wrong with a carbon free pencil on a bit of recycled paper.
