Environmental idiots!

“They’re just environmental idiots who will have disappeared again soon,” said  Former German Chancellor Helmut Schmid, badly miscalculating the power of Green in Germany.
Metiria Turei, our own Green leader, explores the excellent news that the Green Party in Germany is to lead (that's LEAD for those of you who are short-sighted and/or from the Right :-) the coalition government, with the traditional left party, the Social Democrats, taking the minor party role, as described by Metiria on Frogblog.
I won't go on, you can nip over and check it out yourself but rest assured, I'm pretty happy and hugely encouraged by the development. Labour may be languishing a little at the moment, but that just gives us Greens the opportunity to also lead the coalition from the Left, after the coming election.
