Many people who know me don't like me criticizing the Greens ( A political party ) as opposed to the grassroots party of whom I am a member. Infact , at the recent election in Victoria 3 of us were there to stop the Green Party from dominating the discussion on green politics . The Green party do not own green issues any more that Family First owns family issues. Minor parties have a role in highlighting issues and to that extent their names are important . Family first came along when the Liberal party could only seem to see " business"
We 3 amigos were there to reduce the influence of a new coalition of compromise and together we got 9% of the vote - we were very pleased - A higher % than the Greens ,. The people voted for us .
So can the Liberals be trusted with the environment ? Can any party be trusted with the environment ? . Note what liberal means in this context . That's why we should all consider voting minor party first NEXT ELECTION .
In our democracy the person should come first and the party badge second . Beware of labels and sticking religiously to one of them !
