Once they wake up to the fact that the Greens are not tree-huggers, but science and economics illiterate, amoral, anti-population, anti-development, anti-Australian and extreme-Left, it is not surprising that people are turning away from the Greens. It is pertinent that the Greens did not make any headway in the Queensland election. The Greens'autumn is well underway.

And Raycom, you omitted from your list, the "Greens" obsession with support for rampant homosexuality!

According to my heraldic dictionary, 'rampant' means 'standing on the left hind foot'. I'm intrigued, Dan -- why is that kind of homosexuality so much worse than any other? And come to think of it, what's wrong with it ANY way, as long as it doesn't frighten the horses?

The Greens are in the fortunate position of being able to be right on social issues, precisely because they don't have to win a majority of votes to exercise power.

Fanciful stuff.

The movement of voters in the future will follow a much more complex pattern.

Labor voters will be disaffected by Labor's greening. They will vote for the party which is enviromentally closest to their enviromental concerns and who is closest to producing economic outcomes beneficial to themselves... instead of following the traditional patterns of simply switching to minor third parties aligned with Labor.

Labor and the Greens will both lose in this senario. It's what has occurred in QLD where disaffected Labor voters fled to LNP and Katters Australa Party (Which has mostly traditional Coalitional values and which will vote with the Coalitional).

The Greens economic views have been highlighted recently and are so on the nose, reasonable votes will reject them. Labor's economic alignment with some of the Greens more costly policies will result in those disaffected Greens voters switching to a party that embraces some reasonable enviromental but less costly values and to a Party they feel they can trust.

In Campbell Newmans time in the Brisbane City Council he adopted many enviromentally savvy policies and actions, that were acceptable to Greens, Labor and Liberal voters.

If the same types of policies and actions were to become part of Tony Abbott's appeal to voters then it is 'all over red rover' for the Greens and the other socialists federally.

Wipeout time is here.

Thanks Jon J, that says it all about the morality of the greens.

You believe there is nothing wrong in inflicting your policies, that of a very few, on the majority, who find them most distasteful.

Time to step back & look at yourselves. Do it quickly, as the voters are going to beat on you very hard if you continue taking them for fools.

For the ALP, the Independents and the Greens this is all academic. It’s too little, too late, too irrelevant, too toxic and too “it’s all over”.

Even if the Greens are able to maintain current electoral support, which is doubtful, it cannot help them. Their trend line is at best flat and at worst in decline. The Australian public is learning more of Greens policy and the loss of Bob Brown’s “personality” can only draw the eye more to policy, then there is no upside for Christine Milne.

On current polling there will be a significant loss of left wing votes from all previous sources, ALP, Green and Independents. This means that there will be much fewer preferences in percentage terms to flow around. Next there is the changed trend in preference flows, which all add up to annihilation.

These are the political realities that will see the loss of any Greens representation in the lower house and the loss of balance of power in the upper house. If the half senate election won’t fix it a double dissolution most certainly will.

The political landscape is now changed for several generations and there is absolutely nothing the current coalition in government can do about it.

The really soul destroying thing for the rusted on supporters, is to ask them this question of those who do not currently support this government;

What can YOU suggest that this government could do to win the next election?

Remember, this is not a question for the converted ALP, Greens and Indies, only for the non-converted.
