    Son just told me Brighton could nhave a Green MP? I have tried to google and nothing came up. If it's a real possibility then that's me decided....I have voted Green a long time ago but was a 'lost' vote.

    I am torn. Cameron is best for my kids but GB for us but Green would suit me down to the ground......oh ....decsions decisions

    They could if there were strict global rules but that won't happen ....impossible to put same restrictions on a poor Indian village trying to provide for themselves as a town in UK.
    I am thinking polluting rivers with dyes and whatnot for example.

    I don't think the last thirteen years have been that great for the environment...either...although not truly left. all of us buying more, plugging more in...all flying more, consuming more....whether on tick or not, it uses electricity.

    I'd argue sustainability is becoming increasngly important a commercial decision. Its not even ust on green issues I care about: its on lifestyle ones often impacted by green issues: which i do not think are always best served by left of centre ideals.

    I think we all want similar things ...happiness, health, a functional society lynzpower....that our route there is different is doubtless..

    The party and MP I would like to vote for has an immigration policy that I can't agree and a terrible higher education policy so I'm voting for the one that does least harm (in my eyes). I was wavering until this morning.

    Had a candidate round to shake my hand on Monday so gave a proper earful to them.

    Brighton is indeed on a knife-edge - I believe it to be a green/Tory two-way.
