the GREENS look like they have lost support since Milne became leader, I think Brown was a big loss for them he had a personal following that helped the party at all levels. Milne is pretty bland and lacks pretty much everything else. Maybe the GREENS need to look at her leadership as well.

What the Greens need to do is go back to what they did best. Thinking about the environment! They seem to have forgotten what they originally stood for and keep sticking their grubby little mitts into policies they have no clue about

Think Democrats :P
Really, aren't they a dead party too? First they killed off One nation, then the Democrats and now the Greens are in decline. All it will take is preferencing each other as they have in the past and the 2 major parties will kill them off also.

The Dems became pseudo ALP under Kernot and those that followed her anyway and I even told Bartlett years ago, he should join a party that follows his beliefs and become a Green... which he has.

Or do you mean the DLP?

Well in my opinion no.

But in reality there is, especially in Qld and NSW.
I'd think if the Commission were to look into it though the State branches wouldn't have enough registered members to be listed as a party.

Sounds like Labor might steal another Green seat yet.

The Hare Clarke system is weird. The cut off is Friday 26th and only then does the formal distribution of preferences begin.

Antony is still only speculating. :mrgreen: Have a read of his blog of yesterday evening.

The Greens have lost, it is still a matter of how many seats (they had 4 coming into the Election).

P.S. Chick Henry is the bloke from the Summernats (running with the Australian Motorists Party) who would possibly side with the Liberals, that is why his name is being mentioned in Antony's blogs. (comments area).

Do you see any difference to what goes on here in a PA Forum? We are all Australians and argue the same way....... some with humour, others not.
