from what i can see around me the Greens are concentrating their fire on the constituancies where they think that either they'll have an impact, or that they have a chance of winning. if you aint in one of those constituancies, you'll not see a green for dust...

more nationally, Bennett has recovered from her laughing stock image - she's a long way behind Caroline Lucas as a performer, but at least she's not just the comedy act brought on the warm the audience up. i take the veiw that they're going much harder on their 'red' agenda than they are their green one, and that that is getting them far more support/votes than sticking to the mung beans and yogurt knitting, but due to the vaguries of FPTP, i think that will do the 'left' more harm than good in terms of seats won. the Greens are unlikely to sneak many former Tory or UKIP voters, but they'll do well from disillusioned LD or Labour voters, and as we know, a couple of dozen votes moving from one party to another with an ideological block can swing it to the other block.

al-respeq is just George Galloway, obnoxious little turd of a man that he is. no idea whether he'll hold his seat, don't really care tbh...
