    Not me.

    And I don't think that I would've if I were against the FF deal.

    (That said, I'm a new member and - like posters on this site - probably not representative of the membership in general.)

    I would've left because of your negotiating team.

    That would be a strange reason to leave any party.
    But with the Green Party it would be an even stranger reason, considering the urgency of climate change, peak oil, etc etc etc.
    If there is a future, it will be Green.

    You didn't get shannon or the m3 in your deal and the only exception was climate change.

    On the other hand, one might leave if one's interests were Tara, Shannon, and co-location (or fluoridation, or MMR scaremongering) rather than climate change, peak oil etc etc..

    ...perhaps there should be a poll asking whether one would now join the Greens. I am certainly considering it for the first time, now that they have shown themselves to be an actual political party.
    Never let the best be the enemy of the good.

    I didn't say I was happy, I just said I wasn't leaving.
    In fact I think I'm needed more than ever.

    Oh, and it's not as if every poster isn't going to partake in the poll, rather than just green party members. The temptation to push buttons is just too great

    I was considering voting for a Green candidate for the Senate (Dublin University panel) but not now they've hopped into bed with Bertie.
