Suits me. Also pleased to note that the Greens will be putting a candidate in for Portsmouth South in 2015.

Given the choice of some of the other candidates - GVJ and his baggage and that Tory woman with a mouth like a hen's **** - they may even put in a decent show.
It still has some flaws but I am very interested in their Basic Income policy.

Okay, some of the flaws are a tad substantial (eg. it would immediately provoke a biblical flood of EU migrants) but it has promise.

Yeah - certainly some way from being the finished article but well worth supporting. Many are looking for a 'none-of-the-above' party and for far too long the only 'fresh face' in town has been UKIP, who I wouldn't touch with yours.

I wanted to eliminate coal fired power plants by burning immigrants for fuel.
Is that Green or UKIP?

I'd have expected Greens to come higher than this:

81% Liberal Democrats

78% Labour

77% Scottish Nationals

75% Plaid Cymru

72% British Nationals

71% UK Independence

68% Green

66% Conservatives

Naughty Pompski....it's that kind of entrenched attitude that's so frustrating about the British electorate. Why not just make a fresh decision looking at all options each GE?
I always give full consideration to BNP every time, for example...... oh, all right, I don't with THEM.....
Stop looking for solutions to symptoms and start identifying the disease.

Agree with you there EG. My political views/opinions are changing as I get older. I have no idea who I'll be voting for at the next election. Got halfway through that quiz thing and got bored with it so I must be becoming less interested.But then politicians are less interesting than they used to be. They all look and sound the same.
