The two eloquent letters on the super-rich (The problem with living in a rich man’s world, 14 October) explain perfectly why I, as a longstanding Green party member, could not agree less with the letter writers who claim that the party has lost its way (Has Zack Polanski forgotten what the Green party is for?, 14 October).

Social justice has always been at the heart of the Greens’ policy, which also means that unless we have a change in our dysfunctional economic system, we cannot achieve the green agenda. The Green movement has always been about having a moral framework, standing up for oppressed people and bringing about a more just society both at home and abroad.
