Includes such gems as

Large Schools with more than 700 pupils broken up and "localised"
Inheritance tax to apply to all transfers of wealth between generations.
£71 a week for everybody.
Remove VAT and replaced with a tax calculated on environmental damage
Aim for no economic growth ever again.

I already know what they are smoking, as they plan to legalise that too !

I suspect it's rather that 11% don't know about this.

It's all about the cuddly Polar Bears innit?

To remove VAT we'd have to leave the EU.

Are they for that too?

Are they really UKIP in disguise?

Communists at least believed in economic development and growth, prosperity and that money was essentially the reward for labour/effort.

Their increased support comes from the same loonies and degenerates that used to vote Lib Dem. The Lib Dems have been in government for 5 years though, so they're now part of "The Man".

I'd happily pay for a study that proves marijuana smoke is the most powerful greenhouse gas. It has to be true anyway because even god hates hippies. tongue out

Full list of 'policies' here ----> http://policy.greenparty.org.uk/
Just some highlights -
Ban new out-of-town shopping centres with any car parking other than disabled spaces. Eh? Seriously?
Immigration NOT skill-based - the floodgates will not only be opened but removed and recycled to make yurts for the homeless.
A Code for Sustainable Food - all gubbermint-purchased food to be free range/eco-loony/non-nuclear/hippy-free.
Move towards a plan of shops within 15 minutes walk of every house. That's every house. Everywhere.
Legalise membership of terrorist organisations. They're not terrorists, they're just very naughty boys.
Annual land tax payable on all land (cheap rates for farmland) whether houses are occupied, derelict or not. That'll sort the housing 'crisis' then.

Is support for the greens not simply that fact that they are considered the ultimate "alternative"" vote their core supporters.

And by alternative, I mean alternative lifestyle.

No one would seriously vote for even a portion of their goals, would they?

They'll need thousands of trucks to get the stuff into all these new shops.

No they will only stock products made or grown within walking distance of said shops and you won't be able to use money but will need to barter. So an oz of skunk for some coal to keep your mud hut warm and cook your potatoes for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Assume the Green position for a moment,

Every Egg, Chicken Breast, Rolled Joint of Roast Beef and such will now need to be locally sourced, Free Range.

How much land would be required to maintain current consumption? if every beastie that is eaten on a DAILY basis, needed to be free range. ( I am assuming, that no importation of meat would be allowed )

I would be willing to bet, it is more than the available land in the UK
