imo greens are never gonna be a "big" player. they are always going to be a sidebar, and theres nothing wrong with that. that is their role.
really the left are fucking this whole thing up for themselves. they need the greens to be what the young, hip, and with it people vote for- environment, gay/transgender/pan quaffle rights, reforming drug policies, all that shit.
labour needs to be the big balls of the group. they need a big fat loud bastard whos sole focus and drive are the rights of the working class. someone who worked in a meatpackers for 20 years and is a union buddy buddy. they need someone who is gonna stomp holes on motherfuckers, and motivate the masses to vote to save their jerbs. now you have the greens for all the save the world youth hipsters, and labour for all the blue collar workers who dont give a fuck about gay rights and want to add a shed to their backyard but cant because of people taking their jerbs and shit. right now they have some dude who always wears a scarf who went to harvard and apologises for being a man. that shit is not going to fly, and he needs to go.
were they to do this, and have a good campaign machine behind it, they could win. right now, to most people, national are better in every way.
