		<description>&#039;The Green policies are (look them up); everybody consigned to adoption instead of cars, compulsory marijuana, legalised mediation, and bikes for gay couples.&quot;

That is pretty freakin funny.

&quot;gay couples are only to ride tandem bikes. Complete with compulsory marijuana.&quot;

That too, but less points for hanging on to george&#039;s coattails :-D</description>

&quot;radically oppose death, famine and pestilence&quot;
&lt;/blockquote

That&#039;s what you claim, but as David Farrar revealed in his exposé, the Greens will take us back to year zero, with a compulsory zero child policy, camps and a great leap backwards.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Winston Peters reckoned the Greens were “fruit loops” keen on “adoption for gay couples, legalised marijuana, compulsory mediation, [with] everybody consigned to bikes instead of cars”,&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>NZ First supporters are the real &#039;fruit loops&#039; supporting a man who has lied numerous times to the voters and his fellow parliamentarians. 

I would love to see a government of National, Act &amp; the Greens.  We might see some action then. Act &amp; the Greens both support waste minimization in their own ways.</description>

		<description>I think he is partly right... why the emphasis on civil liberties (the 12 points) when crime is an issue? 

those comments may explain NZF&#039;s angle on immigration. To me it is a &quot;developments up and down the country&quot; issue, green belt and (need for) ugly infill. I think the Greens have been off target (my target anyway).</description>
