But what happens to the Greens themselves?
Bob Brown IS the Greens, not just its leader.

Business as USUAL. apparently ...

Newspoll

April 17, 2012

The Greens' vote, in the days after Bob Brown's surprise resignation as party leader on Friday, was steady, going from 11 per cent to 12 per cent.

Yes your lot did very well in the QLD election compared to the Australia party. Grin

The greens appeal to inner city wankers and those living in the rust belt states, the rest of us know better than to trust the greens.

Remember nearly 90% of voters do NOT vote green.

Yes there was a landslide to the regressive side of politics in state politics under a system that favours the main parties.

The vote was mostly on State Issues, not Federal Issues.

Under the Preference and Senate System of Federal Politics, The Queensland state election result is irrelevant.

Federally, Greens are a rising power in Queensland

for example :
Brisbane
Andrew Bartlett GRN 17,244 21.3 +10.1

http://www.abc.net.au/elections/federal/2010/guide/bris.htm

And now with this move to build closer relations with rural Queenslanders, Greens will now plan the attainment of country Queensland seat, on our way to government.

You said that we appeal to the inner-city, when out leader is from the country. Your theory still stands?

The Greens have 1, ONE SOLITARY Lower House seat, which will they lose when preferenced last next election.

But you predicted Greens support with Bob Brown retiring ... the opposite occurred.

So logic would say your couldn't predict an outcome of a raincloud rising a mountain.

What that shows is how afraid the old parties are of the GREENS spoiling their duopoly that masquerades as a democracy, only to have imbeciles like you fall for it, hook line and sinker.
