For me personally the last ten years have switched me from a default labour voter to a committed green voter. Both Labour and the Tories are locked into an obsolete mindset of top-down Government, disdain bordering on actual hostility to democratic mechanisms and institutions, and an unforgivable brown-nosed servility to the blatantly incompetent and parasitic financial services sector. Both have no real understanding of the urgent need to prepare for a world in which oil is no longer affordable or even available, and -truly unforgivable given their apparent political stances - both seem to lack any real understanding of or commitment to the free market. And that's before I even start on the venal, small-minded, self-righteous attitudes of their MP's, or the wars... Two big gangs of absolute dongs, is what they are, and a big part of the appeal of the Green party is that they're completely outside the current system.
