The Green Party wants to ensure it is not vulnerable to extremist influence, its Westminster leader Ellie Chowns has said.
Her comments came after former party leader Caroline Lucas said that some people had joined the Green Party in order to vote in a motion concerning Zionism.
The remarks have raised questions about the party’s membership and internal voting processes, although the material available does not provide further details about the members involved, the motion itself or the circumstances surrounding the vote.
Chowns’s comments indicate that the party is considering how to protect itself from possible attempts by extremists to influence its decisions. No further measures or changes were set out in the supplied material.
The latest position is that the Green Party wants to address the risk of being vulnerable to extremist influence, following the concerns raised by Lucas about participation in the Zionism motion.
