you know, the greens seem to be picking up support in protest, but that's not an answer either - and i've been vocal about my opposition to elizabeth may, and why her position in the anglican church makes her a non-starter as a political option.

in order for the greens to be a viable political option, elizabeth may needs to go - and the party needs to distance itself from her religious views.

the liberals have been terrible. the upcoming cycle should be about finding ways to get them out, and replace them with a more "progressive" (i don't like that word.) option. but, we have not one but two parties on the left that are under the control of religious fundamentalists. and, at the end of the day, i'd rather vote for a secular liberal party than a religious left party, even if i don't agree with them on economics. as the state has a monopoly on violence, it is of the utmost importance that religious zealots be kept out of office - at the behest of everything else.

but, right now, i'm not likely to vote at all. it's going to be a local decision....
