Paul 1405 - The Greens are a broad based party,not a single issue party. We have legitimate views and policies to appeal to all Australians

The meagre membership of the Greens suggests to me that its policies don't in fact appeal to many. I'm probably more ecosystem aware than most & same applies to the majority of folk in my community, however to the best of my knowledge there are no greens supporters, only two lesbian couples in a group of about 500 & universal disapproval of boat people / islamic invasion. Furthermore I understand these figures are fairly typical of other comparable eco-communities. Seems to me the Greens have not so much lost the plot but rather have yet to realize there was a plot in the first place.

As we stall I think it is time I put a spot light yet again on who knifed Rudd/supports Gillard.
Shorten, and who knows why? the useless as the proverbial on a Bull Conroy, are the Prime Union power brokers in Victoria.
Bill Ludwig AWU is still in Queensland.
Sussex street plus the AWU is in NSW.
They installed then removed Rudd.
They are the hand holders of Mrs Failure Gillard, most probably only because she stands against Rudd.
So? no change and Labor continues down the long upside down J curve.
After shattering on the rocks of power brokers and HMAS Titanic/Gillard?
Plan is to put Shorten in charge?
Action? if Gillard is made stand in the corner contemplating her next job?
It takes guts to say sorry, but it can be the first step in forgiveness.

Belly unlike you I have no problem answering you questions.
Would you consider standing for Clive Palmer,s clod hoppers party? NO
Or Katter,s squeaky voice mob? NO
Or form a new one, the naked Morris Dancers of Australia? NO
See I answer your questions easily, Unlike you who fails repeatedly to answer any question put to you on this forum. My question was simple, Who would you place last on the NSW Senate ballot The Greens or One Nation. By your silence you lead me to believe you would endorse Hanson and the radical right wing views of One Nation over the progressive policies of The Greens.
"I (Belly) love the greens. I do! they constantly make me laugh." Well Belly that is good, makes a change from all the whining and moaning you do about that criminal Labor Party of yours. If you are actually a genuine Labor supporter, and from the conservative rubbish you post, supporting Hanson for one, I find that hard to believe, there would be no joy for you in the ALP unless you get your jollies seeing a bunch of criminals like Gillard and Thompson, not to mention Obeid and Macdonald here in NSW, the list goes on and on, running the country. Labor is not a political party its more or less some kind of political mafia. At the last NSW election I was so surprised with the fantastic result the ALP achieved, I could not believe it when they won 20 seats, I checked some fools actually voted for the Labor Mafia.

Prax, you know nothing of The Greens, we have a strong and growing grass roots membership, unlike the ALP which is shedding members by the score. The Greens will contest ever electorate in the country, as we have done at all recent elections, how do we achieve that with, as you put it, "meager membership". How amusing it is when an arch conservative tells you "I wont consider voting Green until you change your policies on queers and illegals and ah kick crap out of all those I don't like." The truth is we don't want such peoples vote, they can keep voting for the KKK, Hanson or Big Clive, plenty to choose from, make your choice, its a free vote.

Yikes! Paul, you only posted half the survey.

Here’s the second part of it:
Would the Greens sign every covenant, or agreement the UN puts in front of them, however loopy –YES!
Do the Greens support unlimited,open door illegal immigration –YES!
Do the Greens AGW policies amount to a sell-out of Australian industry and workers –YES!
Do the Greens have any real idea about foreign policy –auh! ..what is foreign policy?

The greens are a fringe party, and Lee Rhiannon is the Pauline Hanson of the left.

Their poll support has dropped from 14% 3 years ago to about 9% and as Paul says, their root support is growing grass.
