"A Manifesto for Survival"
Contents:
8 sheet double sided A4 folded to give 32 pages (inside back cover blank). 26 pages of substantive text covering all major policy areas of a national government. The forerunner of the 1978 Ecology Party Manifesto for a Sustainable Society which has been maintained as the Ecology & Green Party's repository of policy intentions. Renamed "Policies for a Sustainable Society" around 2011 to reduce journalistic confusion with the specific election manifestos which set the programme for the first term of a Green government if elected.
