Green Party head to offer resignation following poor result

The head of the Green Party Martin Bursík said he would offer his resignation to party leaders at a meeting on Monday after the Greens’ dismal European Parliament poll showing. The Green Party received 2.1 percent of the votes in the elections and no seats. It was battling against two other parties claiming ‘green’ credentials. Mr Bursík said his party paid the price of internal splits but also blamed the low public interest in the European Parliament.
