I actually agree with a lot of the Green party's platform.

I am the type of person who argues that everyone should vote. For those who don't vote on the basis that you can't be bothered to find out what the platforms are, I ask why you're wading through so many threads on this website when you could be reading about the platforms for the parties that are represented in your riding.
