Suppose I could generate a quiz on UKIP policy which would be far more entertaining since the far more shocking answers might actually have some truth to them.

My guess is that the Greens don't want the EU to fund Fascist parties or possibly countries to leave the EU? Would you like to pay someone who wishes to undermine your rights and very existence?

For their real policies and policy popularity see this

Your very lovely picture lists some of the Green Party's policies, I list some others. My source is the Green Party's website and especially their last manifesto. Are you trying to claim the Green Party's website and manifesto are inaccurate? That seems unlikely although plausibly inept for a hard left organisation.

I do not claim a monopoly on quizes. If you want to go to the (quite considerable) effort of creating one then please do so. HAMISH_MCTAVISH has created at least one quiz in the past, I believe at Easter which I joined in with quite enthusiastically.

I suggest you reference them properly and state the exact policy.

I'm still voting Green

Personally, I think a 95% target has more headline appeal.

These Greens....they lack ambition

If you're not giving/cutting 110% then you're just not trying hard enough!

Perhaps you'd like to give an example of one of the policies Generali listed that is inaccurate? There must be a few given all your bluster about it.

Green policies tend to have one of two virtues:
1/ Being so incredibly vague that they mean nothing
2/ Being so incredibly stupid that they'd have done better to make them vague instead.

Some examples:

http://greenparty.org.uk/assets/files/European%20Manifesto%202014.pdf

#Allow parents 23 months pat/maternity leave per child paid at 90% of salary
page 9
#Disallow EU funding of certain political parties because they have beliefs the Greens dislike
Page 28
#Make Cornish people an ethnic minority
Page 30

I am not going to read through the whole thing again as it took ages. Those are quite barmy policies. Clearly not everyone agrees with my assessment.

purch

The Green Party of England and Wales has always been
against UK membership of the Euro. We do not believe
that monetary policy – which must be sensitive to
local economic needs and changes – should be set at a
continental level.

Not ALL their policies are barmy :eek:

Trying to verify the claims of extremist right wing cranks such as yourself wastes far more time. There is no such rule on page 28. however searching through the entire document with the word 'funding' yields this on page 27

to oppose the EU funding fascist parties

which is exactly what I said. So why not just confirm that?

purch

This is a Quiz.

It's meant to be fun.

Fun = enjoyment, amusement, or light-hearted pleasure.


You should try it one day, you'll be amazed how much of a difference it can make to a sad life.

In what way is what I said inaccurate? That has been your claim. Now you want to get into an obscure discussion over semantics as I have proved your claims to be ridiculous.

You're just like UKIP and SNP supporters and extremists everywhere: entirely one eyed and extremely paranoid when anyone appears to be mocking your crazed notions.

Most people don't think that Cornish people are an oppressed minority or that it's reasonable that parents take 2 years off each time they have a child. Most, I suspect, don't think that party funding should be available on the basis of their beliefs as that is a very slippery slope.

In common with crackpots across the world you want you critics silenced be they on a rarely visited part of the Internet or in a democratically elected Parliament. By all means necessary, right comrade?
