The national party comes up with national party ideas and the local parties comes up with local ideas. The local parties have decision making power over this. The national party can not control the locals in this regard.

Some ideas the states can always leave the delegation under their own accord.

I suggest you check out http://www.gp.org

So your party is decentralized in its own organization, but do you support decentralization of the Federal government once you control it?

From the site, among the 10 Key Values of the Green Party
[ QUOTE ]
5. DECENTRALIZATION
Centralization of wealth and power contributes to social and economic injustice, environmental destruction, and militarization. Therefore, we support a restructuring of social, political and economic institutions away from a system which is controlled by and mostly benefits the powerful few, to a democratic, less bureaucratic system. Decision-making should, as much as possible, remain at the individual and local level, while assuring that civil rights are protected for all citizens.
