Not SURE that I get the point. The Green Party is SUPPOSED to be, well green. Not left, not right, GREEN. Just because it isn't NECESSARILY a "left party" doesn't make it "capitalist". Just because many (most?) greens don't believe that there are any possible solutions within capitalism doesn't make them "socialist" (it's us on the "left" who tend to think that there are ONLY two possible systems).

If the "leftists" want the "greens" to ally with them (on the issues dear to leftists but perhaps irrelevant as far as the environment is concerned) then the left has to actually support some environmantal planks -- has to do MORE than simply say nonesense like "capitalism is destroying the environment -- we'll destroy capitalism -- vote for us" (in case you really don't get it, the left has to actually make a case that they WILL be better for the environment. With no evidence presented (actual models) there is no GOOD reason for "environmentals" to think them two peas in a pod --- it's "industrial civilization", stupid.
