Bradford on Greens in 1990s

Bryce Edwards has a very detailed and comprehensive post on Sue Bradford, one of the contenders for the Green co-leader without a penis position. I recommend people read the full post, but could not resist one quote from Bradford in the early 19902:

she found the Greens to be either ignorant of or hostile to worker and union issues. She describes two kinds of Green: hippie dropouts content to make pots, be creative and smoke dope; and those who are quite right wing, “who think it’s fine to send the unemployed out to work that is environmentally sound like cutting bush tracks” ‘ (Leget, 1993: p.68).

Heh.

The results of the election will be known later today. The market is strongly picking Turei.
