The EGP and its member parties are holding a series of debates so voters can make an informed decision whom they choose to be the two Green Leading Candidates for the European Elections 2014. Until 28 January 2014 anyone in the EU who is 16 or older and supports Green values can vote in our EU-wide online Green Primary, and help decide who will be the hearts and faces of our campaign.
