Here's my problem with the "Vote Green" strategy.
They had a wonderful opportunity this election to become more of a real party. They had funding. They had media attention. They were in the national debate...oh wait they weren't....why was that again?
However, that last point aside, they really were set up to take a big step forward. To become not a party that people vote for as a protest, but because they actually think the party can do some good.
Instead the Green Party has in my view run a horrible campaign. Their platform came out too late (they should have been out well ahead of everyone else in my opinion). Their party is wrought with in-fighting.
You want to be treated like a real party - start acting like one.
