,,, the way things stand at present, the GREENS have much more credibility than LABOUR. At least they've stuck to the platforms they went to elections on last time.

Just remember, these enviro-nuts had their start in Germany, morphing from student radicals/terrorists into a "respectable" political movement, which has somehow spread its tentacles all the way to my own country, unfortunately.

Joska Fischer may be the moderate, public face of this party, but it is still nothing more than the same band of radical Marxists that caused such massive upheaval and destruction throughout Western Europe during the 60s/70s.

They haven't changed their stripes, merely bought newer, more expensive suits to disguise their unbridled fundamentalism.

They're are essentially unchanged, espousing the same ideology that has been tried repeatedly, e.g. in the G.D.R. and former Soviet Union, and which has never succeeded, in spite of their best efforts.
