the greens are in a similar position to the democrats before they imploded.
had a long serving leader who kept the team together not trying to be a real party, just there adjusting items to make them a little less severe.
then the democrats decided they wanted to be like a real party, to actually do something BIG and get noticed.
so even though they went through an election campaign saying they wouldnt support a GST once the election was over, their new leader got visions of grandoir and when uncle howard came calling telling her she was soooo pretty and powerful she succumbed to his manly wiles.
before she had time to finish her post rumpy pumpy smoke she had killed her whole party.
will the greens repeat the democrats error?
i watch with interest.
I also felt at the time, this was the beginning of the end for the Greens. Since then they have moved further to left into the political wastelands of obscure and irrelevent policy that only interest a very small minority. Theres simply not enough votes in their policy wastelands to support a viable long term party and not enough people who know how to actually get things done, to make any real tangible changes that might impress and garner new supporters.
