- I would believe that talk.environment would fulfill this need quite
- nicely. However, I only occasionally read the group, so please inform
- me if I am wrong in making that statment.

-
- Then in that case, have these regional party organizations find space
- on regional hierarchies to carry on those discussions. I believe the
- idea behind net-wide hierarchies is to provide the best way to
- accomodate everyone on the net as a whole. However, my familiarity
- with the Green Party leads me to believe that a single group for all
- Greens world-wide simply would not work, due to not only the
- previously-stated differences between the Greens in the U.S. and
- Europe, but due to all the other differences that exist as well.

-
- Well, I'm sure that Jyrki will eventually force alt.politics.canada
- down our throats, if he hasn't already. So there you go. Form
- alt.politics.canada.party.green. Or possibly even something under
- can.*, if the previous wouldn't work out.

-
- Possibly because the general group would become obsolete when the
- subgroups are formed, which will lead to the standard colossal flame
- wars and/or rmgroup/newgroup wars.
