It's a little surprising that the Greens aren't trying to cut into the NDP vote by standing on a strongly anti-austerity program. You'd think they would realize that the "Tories with composters" vote they try for in Albeta doesn't exist in Manitoba, and that most of the growth potential they do have is from disappointed voters on the NDP left wing.
Would you care to provide some actual evidence for your post, rather than your continued pontificating from afar about what each party is doing and what is going on in a country where you don't even live?
In any case, can you tell me what is [url=http://greenparty.mb.ca/introduction/]right-wing or pro-austerity about a platform that includes:[/url]
- promotes a clean energy strategy that stresses money-saving efficiency and clean energy sources like solar, wind, and geothermal.
- makes local industries a priority. Responsible economic development means keeping production close to home and keeping it clean. Greens support a healthy, non-polluting agriculture sector, and natural resource development that respects the limits of nature.
- values a compassionate society that tackles poverty and injustice effectively. The Greens endorse a restorative justice approach to dealing with crime and its victims.
- will create more employment opportunities in a diverse green economy that will include local, high-tech innovation.
In particular, please explain how post 3 is right wing, considering the high rates of poverty and people locked up in jail that have happened under this government's watch, and how Andrew Swan as an NDP Justice Minister tried to out-Harper Harper on crime?
