Something like 10 or 12% of the voting public voted for the Green Party in the last election. That is a huge amount of votes, but unfortunately with our stupid system (first past the post) they get no voice in parliament.
They most definately should be included in the debates and I am sickened that the other 3 party leaders are threatening to boycott the debates if they are included.
It's shit like this that makes me wonder why I should vote. I may just go in and spoil my ballot.
For the record, I have never voted green in the past. I would feel that same way about any party that gets such a significant amount of votes.
