In reply to Chooky.

He’s right strategically – an innovative far-right needs conspicuous virtues – and eco-virtues are presently popular. ACT is too small and too lazy to do actually green policy though – so we get cheap shots.

As a campaign strategy it’s a bit like Winston’s though – he used to attack journalists every time he got a chance, then he went on to attack the Greens. It’s a way of being high visibility without formulating policy that might not be effective or popular and might be costly to abandon.

Has ACT learnt anything? Given that their major policy remains the stealing of Landcorp I’d say they haven’t learned a thing. Using state power to steal things is essentially Stalinist – there is no entrepreneurial developmentalism in ACT, so as a party they do not deserve to survive.

“e. In fact, I’m given to understand that the way they ran things during their last Party term, was by pouring their Parliamentary Services resourcing into ‘campaign offices’ rather than the shadow-electorate outreach more common for Opposition parties”

You do know that the Greens didn’t win a single electorate right?

Which seems kind of strange that they would need more air travel to and from non-existent electorates than MP’s who actually have constituents they have to be there for.

The connection between airfare travel cost and being more ‘green’ is a complete fallacy. Doesn’t provide any indication of who has burned more fossil fuels.

It has the smell of Hooton all over it….Hooton has always fancied the Green Party as a subsidary of Nact
