Greens does not understand that irrespective of the Greens polling numbers or vote that they are the biggest loser in any election won by the Liberals.
Having more Greens senators being ignored in parliament makes no difference to green policy or environment issues.
At the moment the Greens seem to have captain stupid in charge who also does not understand this obvious fact.
When push comes to shove, is there really that much difference between the two olds besides a little window dressing.
Look how labor has turned it's back on workers by supporting the China FTA, and labor's support of the TPP.
And when measuring stupidity of leadership ... finally a winner for labor.
Ask yourself who tried to push trough a carbon trading scheme that was blocked by the Liberals and greens and then again who implemented a fixed price on carbon and who dismantled it.
Yes there is a huge difference on green issues between Labor and the Liberals.
As Hissy Pyne once said he has the solution to all green issues - green concrete. Nothing has changed except for green socks on saint Patricks day.
It is an indisputable fact that Labor plus the greens can get action on environmental matters and the Liberal plus the Greens will result in a lot of laughter about the prospect of environmental change.
Rudd/Labor saw a major movement of people demanding action on deadly climate change. Rather than lead this group down a meaningful path, Labor saw it as a danger, especially to it's held coal seats, and so set a path to crash this movement against the rocks.
Labor are now working the similar plan on renewable energy, another threat to their currently held coal seats.
Labor is no friend of sustainable Australia.
As devious as the conservatives are within the liberals, the progressives libs have an opportunity. Sure highly unlikely much will come from this .
Labor had it's chance and failed. Time to watch the signs from the Libs, see if they can prove everyone wrong and actually take climate change seriously.
If Libs fail, then the only solution is the removal of both Labor and Liberal parties.
