I have a friend in the Greens who can't stop talking about how the Libs have such nice environment policies. <BR/>In the long run, this partnership likely will destroy the Green party as voters will see no reason to vote Green when a vote for the Libs is a vote for the same environment policies. And the Greens will deserve it for getting in bed with one of the parties of the business class.
