The rise of the Greens

I’ve blogged at Stuff on The rise of the Greens. I conclude:

If the Greens do manage to get 10 per cent or more in the election, they will have an enhanced presence in Parliament that might push them to rise even higher than where they now are. I don’t believe they could ever supplant Labour as the major party of the Left, but I do think they could end up being a 10-15 per cent party, rather than a 5-7 per cent party.
