The problem with the Green party is the same as any other party that concentrates on a few particular policies; in that they are specialists (for want of a better word) in a few issues only, and alienate those who don't think their core values are important...
...this is a major problem; as while people ignore the Greens due to their inability to take a balanced approach on all issues, they also end up ignoring many very important environmental policies at the same time...
...the recent leadership debate showed that the vast majority of people are only concerned with how they will be affected over the next few years; when the fact is that climate change will affect us all economically far more than immigration will in the next 50 years.

I agree with you there. Its the only word to describe the band of merry (gender neutral

That's because you lack the ability to see beyond your own microcosm.

Don't confuse some of the supporters that you see at demos with those who do the real work - There are many highly educated and talented people employed by green organisations...
...I certainly wouldn't describe those who go out on the Greenpeace boats as 'bonkers', and just before several potentially hazardous months at sea I can assure you, they are far from 'merry'...and as for 'gender neutral', I'd love to put you two on a boat with the Sea Shepards...you'd soon find out who had the balls...

The Greens hate our sport and hate us. They want to destroy our peaceful pastime for the sake of their own warped version of Communism, where all are equally miserable.
No, I still don't see why any shooter would even contemplate voting Green. You might as well hand your ticket in now if you are.

The 'Green Party' are all bonkers, they are not, however, Greenpeace.
