The Greens - starting to see the light.

Co-leader Russel Norman’s wearing of a tie at the Greens recent conference sends the message that just maybe the Greens realize that they must be more main stream. They need to stick to their knitting to see their percentage of party vote continue to be increased. Smart move, but the perception (and concern) is that Meteria Turei maybe more for radical than her sweet face portrays must be a worry.
The Greens can’t afford to have their “moderate” vote cannibalized (maybe that should be "veggibalized"), especially by National’s Bluegreens. If the can continue to prove they are genuine and are not all from the looney left, they will do well.
So far their improvements appears to be at Labour's expense.
