    Green party's demise

    The Green party's horrible demise is further evidence that power corrupts.
    As an ostentious righteous party, they are now a matter of great controversy and political dissapointment, not alone in the public eye, but
    within their own ranks. They were a great hope, but represent a great
    hypocrisy...

    How long will it be before the sound they end up like the PD's?

    now in fairness I recvkon the greens will not be to upset that if like the pds they spend over 10 years been involved in the Government, the longer they are involved in Government the longer they can buy off the disgruntled with government perks.

    Take it as a compliment. We're worth attacking.

    Alot of the greens vote will be fine. They are a single issue party whos voters don't follow politics. Most of their supporters won't be concerned about trivial things like public health or education, private all the way!

    I think most Green voters favour public health (even I do, and I would be to the right of a lot of Greens), but either in or out of government, the party isn't going to be allowed to tear down Castle Harney. Nor, of course, are the rest of you.

    I'm not Green - except for feeling ill from the preponderance of identical threads all over the gaff

    Also, by your logic, FF is worth it?

    FF is certainly worth attacking...always have been. However, the "strategy" appears to be to attack the Greens instead - presumably because FF aren't likely to walk out of government, whereas the Greens might. Something of a tightrope act, I imagine, since if FF has a couple more defectors it will actually need the Greens to keep a majority. In that position I would hope to see the Greens play hardball or walk.
