Of course it will be different in the US. Especially if the

Greens get the

5%, we have a good model for the likely outcome - the Reform Party, where

the takeover of the party by ruthless sectarians converted a goo-goo

budget-balancing party into a fascist conservative vehicle.

Workers World,

Fulani's folks and a range of other groups are no doubt licking

their chops

in anticipation of taking over Green chapters across the country come 2004

in that case.

-- Nathan Newman ************************ Trying to predict the future of the Green Party is like trying to predict the weather; humility and a little hope go a lot further. Surely there were plenty of people in the mid-19th century saying "that Republican Party is going nowhere fast!". Similarly for political parties in Europe. Even better [or worse!] "look at that Christian cult, they'll never amount to a hill of beans."
