Greens claim Gordon Brown has managed to break the law, sabotage an ongoing public consultation and do a U-turn on his promise to listen to the people.
Cllr Philip Booth, a spokesperson for Stroud District Green party said:
" As head of government, Brown is meant to be abiding by the high court
ruling that says the government can't legally make a decision on
whether to build new nuclear power stations before a proper public
consultation has been carried out. Yet he stated in his first Prime
Minister's Question Time: "We have made the decision to continue with
nuclear power."
Greenpeace, supported by the Green party won a High Court bid
earlier this year to make the government rethink plans to build a new
nuclear power. Justice Sullivan described the last consultation as
"seriously flawed" and the process "manifestly inadequate and unfair".
Philip Booth added: "It now looks like this consultation is as much
of a sham as the last one; the government seems to have already made up
its mind on nukes, before the consultation's even really underway.
Brown claimed he wanted to be a different kind of leader, that would
listen to the British public, yet already he has said he doesn't care
what people think about nuclear power, he's going for it regardless."
