The talented Greens

I’ve blogged previously at Stuff, on the talent the Greens have on their list. Adam Bennett in the Herald profiles some of them.

I’d be quite happy if the Greens got up to say 15 MPs into Parliament. I’ll disagree with many of their policies but I’d rather have intelligent articulate bright MPs, than ones that are not.

Now naturally I don’t want the Green vote to expand, at the cost of a centre-right Government. But I do suggest left voters look at who may come in on the Green list and who may come in on the Labour list, and decide accordingly.

And I’m not just saying that to do Labour over. In 2008 I was very complimentary of Labour’s list, and in fact my praise even made their internal members newsletter.
