I doubt you can find a single Green who will tell you that that has been our biggest achievement, let alone most of them. Plus it's not true, we are not keeping the govt in power, United Future and NZ First are. Not to mention that the govt are not left anyway. yawn … cracked record time again from BB.

Sadly most of the Green party will tell you that their biggest achievement has been to keep the left in power.

There are plenty of non environmental achievements but have you achieved any MAJOR environmental goals? It worries me as I like the idea of being green.

Look up 'green achievements' I guess. I too would like a lot more 'environmental' success, but I don't think it's possible to hold a major party to ransom like that...
