New Green Voices Join The Blogosphere

Last year, Two Doctors made a clarion call for Scottish Green politicians to hit their PC's, laptops and Macbooks and to get with the Social Media phenomenon. In particular, James highlighted a lack of Green Party bloggers relative to the other parties.

Unfortunately the silence was deafening. Debra Storr joined the party and revamped her existing blog, and Patrick Harvie finally admitted that he did actually have a blog, but beyond that there hasn't exactly been a rush to the keyboard. (I have a sneaky suspicion that Jeff at SNP Tactical Voting is a closet Green and can be turned but I doubt he'll admit it in public!)

Now though, a group of Scottish Green Party members has got together to start a new blog called Bright Green Scotland. Although not a wholly green enterprise - they say their writing will be from a "progressive" standpoint and inclusive of all parties - their voices will be welcome in the Scottish political blogscene.

The internet allows people to punch above their weight. For a small party, the SGP should be using all tactics at their disposal to get their voices heard.
