Dear Sir:
It's a problem in the USA as well as the liberals there almost crave noble defeats preferring to hold the moral high ground rather in academia than do any real work.
Any party should be happy to have the Greens help them they are mostly well educated thoughtful people who strive to have good values.
But they have to stop with the politics of identity and try an be a force of good for all.
Seriously If you form a political party with the Idea that it is purely for ones own ego then you really have no darn business putting your hat in the political ring. Now more than ever!
Sometimes if you are not fixing a problem, you are part of it.
Dear Sir:
Jim Bolger is a pretty level headed Kiwi bloke and he also echos the sentiments of
some disappointed Liberals when he asks why the Green Party will not form a government with the National Party, after all the main premise of a liberal is to help others.... If you do not hold power then you can NOT help anyone.
It is a "What If" situation... What If NATIONAL was thinking ahead that they might need to be the sort of people the GREENS could work with.
