It's good to hear from another Green. Again, I find myself jealous of another country's political system. I wish we had proportional representation (PR) like in the rest of Europe. With our antiquated first-past-the-post voting system it means that minority parties such as the Greens don't stand a chance. However, if we had PR and they won some seats, they would be more visible to the public and thus hopefully gain greater support.
All the best
Dunder
