I’ve never been convinced by the Greens, I don’t think they have costed their plans properly. It’s jolly nice to say that you’ll give everyone a living wage, increase the basic state pension, pay for environmental improvements for houses etc., but where is the money going to come from? You can only raise taxes so far before people will kick you out, either at an election or before!

I’ll probably be voting for the Lib Dem’s in the general election this year, I’ve voted for them ever since I turned 18, but I’m starting to feel that even they aren’t going far enough these days.

If there’s one major benefit to being the outsider, it’s that you have no need to aim your policies at ‘Mr Average Joe’, something which can considerably water them down.

The Green Party is a great example of how politics could be done, although the changes proposed by them would be far too radical at the moment, and they obviously lack the experience required to run the country.

I’m starting to think that a Green/LibDem coalition would do a great job running the country. Am I going crazy here?

To be fair, I’ve seen Nick at a bar and it didn’t take him hours to decide. Perhaps his advisers told him what to order…
