Taking a look at some green credentials

A FEW years ago, I interviewed Trevor Sargent and put it to him that the Green Party had gradually come in from the margins to become more populist and more politically palatable to potential partners. No way, he responded.

“It’s the other parties that have moved out to meet us, as they recognise the merit of our arguments.”

The proof of that particular tofu and leek pudding is the Lazarus-like conversion of the other political parties to environmental policies.
