Update from Copenhagen Tuesday 15 Dec AM

Published on Tue 15th Dec 2009

Again in a long queue in the freezing cold outside the conference centre. Despite media headlines about yesterday's disorganisation they seem to have learned little.

Tried to observe the talks yesterday evening only to learn it was a closed session, government representatives only, so I trooped off into town to speak to youth leaders brought here by America's Environmental Defense Fund instead. But how can I inspire idealistic young people to go into politics when they see governments acting with such scant regard for transparency?

Next month I will show in the EP a film entitled World Vote Now. Watch its trailer at http://www.worldvotenow.com/. The case for a global parliament grows stronger by the hour.
