What is your general impression of the non-environment related policies of "!
Question: ....your lack of knowledge about their non-environmental policies, the very thing that keeps you keeping voting for the tired bankrupt old major parties?
maybe you're in the habit of voting for the traditional parties, because instead of voting for something you really believe in, [even though--like all new parties--they have to start from a low base, and are by definition, not going to gain power this year] you go for the tired same-old parties, because you been brainwashed by them to think that if you arent voting for the top contenders...your casting a wasted vote?
why dont more people vote more for up and coming new ideas&parties, rather than sticking with the tired and irrelevant old parties?
it must be awful to live in the u.s.a where you have all that abundance of options, running all the way from to A to B..!
theres so many ways of looking at the world, and all of that diversity has to be squashed down into a choice of Rep...or...Dem.
at least UK has A,B,C..!

It's easier to vote for new ideas and parties when you feel they can have some consequence. In our two-party presidential system of government, a simple plurality dictates which party wins seats in the legislature and electoral votes for president. A proportional representation voting structure in a parliamentary system allows for greater division of votes, and subsequently participation of multiple parties in government. We don't have that, and sometimes I wish we did.
I did a paper once on the relative success of the Green Party in Europe in the late 1980s. I am aware of many of their policies and I support most of them. I recall them being anti-nuclear, pro civil rights and women's rights, and in favor of strong corporate regulation. I dig it. It just won't happen here in the States, although I vote for Greens for nearly every position in state and local governments (when I can even find one on the ballot). Still, I wouldn't say it's "awful" to live here. We have pretty good pizza.
They seem to be a bunch of liberalite wishy washy vegetarians to me. They want to 'impose' their green policies on us, but they don't seem too worried about tax, schools, hospitals and everything else that matters. They don't seem too bothered about putting taxes up to pay for their looney policies either!
