Britain under the Green Party: Zero growth, no army, and everyone either high or hungry

What would happen if the Green Party were actually given the chance to put its politics into effect? Here's one vision

An interesting and balanced report. Fortunately, the Greens are likely to remain a minority party of nutters. Most 'normal' people won't take much notice of them.

I like you JBR you make me smile . When a tv program derides your favourite party you're up in arms but with this report you reply about it being " a party of nutters " and being a balanced report. I suppose if the torygraph had written in such terms about Ukip you would be saying it was biased reporting because they're running scared.
Membership and support are growing for the Greens as people search for an alternative for the constant boom and bust politics of the past and the idea of a zero growth model for society is nowhere as scary as some would have us believe , change the word "stagnate" to " stable " and life isn't so bad. Here's another view of a zero growth model http://www.theecologist.org/blogs_a...wth_10_policy_proposals_for_the_new_left.html
That report in the torygraph really does grasp at straws as well , when it says that a workforce eating less meat will have lower output because of the lowering of energy levels and concentration.
And I've said it before and I'll say it again the Greens are the only party to actively oppose the TTIP which is probably the biggest threat to our sovereignty that we face.
I'm not going to say I agree 100% with everything the Greens say but without the option on " none of the above" on the ballot sheet then they still seem like the best bet.

Edit
If anyone really wants to use the words growth and nutters in the same sentence then check this lot out
