Does this still apply, or did a more humane party get in?

Nope, All fish caught by anglers in Germany must be killed. I'ts cruel to just play with them you see!?

Please don't support the 'Anti's , don't sign the ban hunting petitions - look at what happens to the funds you give so called 'green' and animal charity's, nearly all of them are anti angling.(and none of them pro-angling). If their website says 'we do not have a policy on angling' they mean we do not have an anti-angling policy yet!

I`m sure there are a lot more fishermen/women than there are green party candidates so simple really `don`t` vote for them!!!

No wind up at all.There used to be a top class match angling scene amongst servicemen serving in Germany.Many big "International" matches were put on during the period of the English closed season and many of the top UK teams and matchmen used to come over and fish them.As the Green Parties strength grew it completely destroyed the scene.The only way the scene carried on was at a very discreet club level with the major Army championship matchs being moved to Denmark.

Pete I amazed at your comment

You of all people know that candidates are mandated to tow the party line. And the Green party’s line is clear. A ban on livebaiting and The Party will promote the voluntary cessation of angling through public education programmes."

 

A spinning way of saying we will ban angling.

I personally was going to vote for the greens and I know 2 of the 3 Candidates standing in the EU elections, one of whom is not anti angling but he’s standing on a ticket for banning angling, so there’s no way on this earth that I’ll vote for them now.

I don't doubt the spin Phil. It puts one or two would be 'greens' on a spot, thats for sure.

 

Personally I won't be voting this time round, first time for a very long time.

Ah Peter , You wish to join my 'none of the above' party then? I wish to vote but find none of them worthy of my vote!

[Steve Randles]

WTG Green party!...and as a political party , one would expect they would try to gain votes. Not alienate 3 million voters, or voters of tomorrow.

 

How very forward thinking of you!

Can't find a better party right now. I have no wish to vote consevatives in, but even less do I wish to vote Labour out, nor back in for that matter!
