    What have the Greens Achieved in Power?

    This is a follow on from a tread yesterday, and is NOT meant as a slag off the Greens. All I can see is that they want to raise taxes for the greater good. So can someone please tell me , what have they achieved??

    Increased class sizes.

    Destruction of the health service.

    Cuts in public transport.

    Elimination of unsightly heritage sites.

    More U-turns than an Alpine road

    Unswerving support for Brian Cowen.

    And 2 of these -

    La ilaha illa Enda.

    The Greens can still redeem themselves and earn the gratitude of all of us by achieving the swift end of this government.

    That's not completely true, they've secretly retained their opposition to the EU and are going to defeat the 2nd Lisbon treaty referendum by having Brian Cowen leading the campaign in favour of it.

    To be fair, they got waste separation/recycling into a good few council areas which was part of their original platform. For all the other disasters like Tara, health, education, Shannon etc. they didn't stand a chance against FF, either numerically or in terms of deviousness. Now with NAMA, they have a chance to do the right thing when their vote can actually save the future of this country. They might just take that chance.

    By being hypocritical lying Green/Fianna Failures (Planet Bertie and the other lies they spouted) perhaps the worst damage they have done is destroying any credibility for politicians in the eyes of young voters.

    Part of the plan to keep the staus quo no doubt
