Independent Green Voice
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Independent Green Voice is a minor environmentalist political party in Scotland. First registered with the Electoral Commission in 2003, it is led by Alistair McConnachie.
The party has a broadly environmentalist platform and campaigns for localism, including leaving the European Union and opposing immigration. It also opposed debt slavery and calls for the establishment of a "Public Investment Bank".[1]
In the Scottish Parliament election, 2003, McConnachie stood in Glasgow Kelvin and received 1,300 votes (5.9%). In the 2005 UK general election, he stood in Glasgow South West, and received 379 votes (1.2%).
McConnachie is also the party's treasurer and nominating officer.[2] Prior to establishing the party, he was the Scottish organiser for the UK Independence Party but his membership was not renewed in the summer of 2001 amid allegations that he was a holocaust denier[3].
