What are the Green Party up to these day?

[Marcos the black]

Sometimes it hard to believe that up to Feb these guys were in Govt. because they have completely fallen off the political map (admittedly at the request of the voters).
A quick look at their website (Home - Green Party / Comhaontas Glas) will tell you that (Mr) Eamon Ryan and co are still planning to Transform Politics.

So without going back down a Green bashing direction, do you see any room for a reinvigorated Green Party in Ireland in the next decade?? Peak oil, extreme weather etc.. FF still in decline, the electorate seems to continue to take out their ire on them, and rightly so.

So could they do it? Could they dust themselves down and make a come back. Is Eamon Ryan the man to do it?

Nahh they're gone, nobody is talking about them anymore, their local councillors will be kicked out from their seats in the next election and then that's it for the Greens.

Surely Al Gore can save these whackjobs in 24 hours

They are not gone. They've merely been recycled by the electorate.

Sorting out their allotments for the winter. They will never have a summer again.

One or two of their remaining councillors are remaining pretty active and seem to be upping their presence in local papers and the like. The party has a long road to recovery ahead - hard to see them returning to national politics . . .

Yeah, it's a bit ironic. Renault are launching their Electric car range in November. If the Greens were still about they'd be all over it like a rash, about how this is the way forward. Now that they're gone as a Political "force" will they even be invited to the event?? as onlookers..

[Peoples Front of Judea]

They are gone and they will never hopefully wield power in this country again.

[bogtrotter]

It's a shame really that they allowed greed for power destroy their party as they did seem to have something to offer...

Let their plight be a warning to the Labour party, unless they can get some of their own policies up and working then they ( the Lab Party) will end up in the rubbish bin as well....

Green politics are the politics of the contented and there's not too many of them around now.
