What a cracking little book. It is only 166 pages, split into 14 chapters, each a look at a different aspect of Green policy. We all know that the Greens want to save the planet but, what are their policies on other issues? Are they sandal wearing hippies spouting nice but impractical objectives for the country?

I defy anyone who has read this to find them guilty of half-baked theories. The party often takes a different slant to the two "main" parties, but when one has a problems that have defied these behemoths for many years, perhaps fresh thinking is what is required. Rest assured that, if the Green Party were to have any influence over the next government, they would not be bringing in laws concerning the number of mung beans that must be consumed per month; despite the fact that Labour and Conservative fear merchants will probably try to convince you otherwise. Sadly, fear of the scary monster represented by anything other than their political credo is all that you will see from the establishment parties between now and election day. When you feel completely bloated upon such bilge, don't nail your head to a passing aardvark, turn to some sanity and read, "Why Vote Green". ( )
