Greens defeat polygamy motion
By Laura Payton
OTTAWA – The Green Party voted down a motion to push to decriminalize polygamy Sunday morning. The vast majority of over 300 members voted against the motion, with 82% against and 18% in favour. The motion called for the party to push to decriminalize “polyamorous” relationships, where people are intimately involved and living with more than one partner.
Perhaps it was the result of new research into the animal and plant kingdoms and a desire to avoid being speciesist – whatever the reason, some members of Canada’s Green Party have submitted a policy motion for the party’s 2010 convention to legalize polygamy, or “decriminalize polyamorous relationships.”
