It might have escaped your attention, but the Greens are the only Party that operates on the basis of long term, well thought out, policy. They are the only Party that predicted the Bubble, the only Party that railed against the idiotic "Build, Build, Build" (aka Borrow, Borrow, Borrow) economic policies of the three establishment Parties, and the only Party that consistently warned of the need to address our crazy energy situation.


If the Greens were to back out of Government now, or any time before their mandate is up (2012 under legistation, 2014 under the Constitution) they would be doing a massive disservice to our children because no other Party has the vision, or commitment, to address the fundamental problems that are coming down the track due to our excessive waste of imported energy.

Leave them where the are. They have a job to do.
