He did so as recently as two weeks ago. The Greens are past their peak. They were completely irrelevant in the QLD election, and I expect that dipsh!t Larissa Waters to lose her seat come next election. QLD and the NT want nothing to do with the Greens, apart from the sole anomaly of Waters (QLD), who should definitely lose her seat. A pity that the other 6 states and territories don't follow suit.
It won't matter though. Labor and Greens = COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT AFTER THE NEXT ELECTION. Now is the time, in my opinion, for a strong second party to emerge, and take over the place of Labor. All I have drawn from all this wishful thinking about the Greens, is that the Hard Right fear the Greens greater than we realised. No wonder they want to preference Gillard over Greens. They see Labor as less of a threat than us growing Greens. Yes, I see the Greens as such a threat. How many seats did they win in the QLD election, again?? How many seats will they win this year in the NT? How many next year in WA? Yes, Some state Greens do have work in front of them. In Queensland state Greens have the potential of surpassing Labor and gaining government when the swing back to the progressives happen. And it will. Meanwhile, this topic is federal politics and Greens can and will make inroads into the coalition support base. Greens know this, Labor knows this, and although Regressive Neo Cons will not admit it, they know Greens are their greatest threat in the longer term. Look, if you really believe any of this, then I pity you. Good luck with that, let's see how it goes. How many seats will the Greens win in the NT this year, and WA next year? I'm in NSW so my attention is to growing support in this state, along with federaly. NSW is a key state for Greens to surpass the 20% federal primary vote, on it's way to government. Okay. I will answer it for you, 0 in the NT, and 0 in WA. The Greens have 1/93 seats in NSW, 0/89 in QLD, and 0/88 in VIC. So, as a collective, in the three biggest states, the Greens have 1/270 seats. Very impressive. When do you think the Greens will form a federal government? My prediction is 2000 and never. I dont think he has yet worked out that forming govt means you actually have to win seats - and more than everyone else. Calling him clueless is being generous. He just keeps going and going, facts be damned! If the QLD election wasn't enough to make him see, then nothing will. I am starting to think that it's just an exercise in attention-seeking. Did you see that other idiotic Green the other day, called "Green Light"? H/she said that they too thought that the Greens would form government, and were smart enough to realise that it wouldn't be in the next few elections, but the Greens would "gain at least 20 lower house seats"! This is typical of the Greens, just look at Bob Brown, he too believes that the Greens will form government. This demonstrates why they will get nowhere; they are devoid of fact and truth, and full od fantasy and delusion.
