Looking at the Monster Raving Loonies as a dot in the rear view mirror.
Before you disagree, read this, listing what's in the actual real manifesto, that lets face it most people thinking of voting for them have no idea about.

I do also find it strange that UKIP (who I do NOT support, I'm pro Europe) got lots of grief for things that are a mere fraction as nutty as that!

it's the party the oddballs vote for - that's why they do do well in Brighton

I think it's a safe bet most people vote for them because they think they want a bit more recycling, protection of greenbelts, and help with insulating, that sort of thing. They've no idea about the raving lunacy they actually have as official policy.

if they get to be part of a coalition wonder if they'll get the same **** as the lib dums when they have to ditch all that crap

And there we go, 1.01 landed. I'm actually surprised it took this long for the messenger to be shot.
Which part of the manifesto as described isn't accurate? |

As long as the morris dancers take some votes off the two main parties its all good with me

Morris dancing should be banned, as exercise increases carbon emissions!

EN110 A green Government would cut energy costs across all sectors through demand reductions and improved efficiency. We will set clear and consistent targets and timetables for improving efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across all sectors of the economy. We will require energy use for space heating, and electrical use to be reduced by a third by 2020, by half by 2030 and by two-thirds by 2050, based on 2012 final energy demand levels. Specifically, we will aim to reduce total UK energy demand to 900 TWh/year by 2030, and to 600 TWh/year by 2050, i.e. reductions of approximately 40% and 60% respectively on 2012 final energy demand.

The England football, rugby and cricket teams would no longer play against countries where “normal, friendly, respectful or diplomatic relations are not possible.”

the morris dancers would never wear ANYTHING that was not biodegradable - it would contaminate the landfill. Eco hemp clothing and shoes is compulsory attire in these circles |

As I said, it is interesting that the BBC/C4 news go after UKIP for ever silly announcement, but the Greens are off the scale mad as a box of frogs, and you have to go to the torygraph to actually point this out. It doesn't seem balanced, regardless of what you think of UKIP, (who are still at least on the scale mad)

The current Green Party leader is awful. At least Caroline Lucas came across fairly well.
They would be better keeping Bennett off the TV debates. She will cost them plenty of votes. |

They'd have a lot less support if the yummy mummy eco fad brigade knew what they were really about.

There you have every dictatorial movement's number-one target: get rid of the head of state so you can ignore the constitution. |

'Parents will be entitled to two years paid leave from work'
£71 pw free to everyone - 'as a right of citizenship' - someone tell them there is no such thing as citizenship please. Open door policy on immigration. 'Richer regions do not have the right to use migration controls to protect their privileges from others in the long term,” the party’s policy book states.' Access to benefits, the right to vote and tax obligations will apply to everyone living on British soil, regardless of passport. Hmmmm.. They plan to tax personal gifts - apart from those received on marriage (wonder why that might be?) |

The monarchy will be abolished, yes we cannot have these monarchs dishing out capital punishment on Tower Hill its time we moved into the 21st century ffs
Fruitcake party, fruitcake policy's utter bowlocks, anything decent they propose is sunk in the mire from all the c r a p they propose. |

Once the economy has crashed we can go back to such healthy pursuits as breaking the ice on the water butt in order to have a wash and sh1tting in a hole in the ground on our allotments. |
