Two thirds of elected Green Party councillors have voted that the party should have a national convention on the controversial Ceta trade deal.

Four Ceta motions are going to the Green Party policy council this weekend, including one by the local-government group of councillors, who needed a two-thirds majority in order to submit the motion.
