Louis, the environmental movement might be multiclass left/right wing, so might the "women's movement," whatever you mean by that.

You have not convinced me that the same is true of the Green movement, just in the same way you would be incorrect if you meant by "the women's movement" feminism.

Let me reiterate my earlier question: Precisely what is it that you mean by the "green movement?" If you are conflating environemtnalism and the greens, I'd like to know that.

Yours, Frances Bolton
