I pretty much have lost my faith in all the major parties. I cannot vote lib dem again after this coalition debacle. Labour are a lost cause and I can't see myself voting for them again.

Their inability to meaningfully oppose the coalition at this time is terribly disappointing. TBH, I think they are too in the pockets of big corps to be an effective opposition party.

So who is left? I like the Green party's official line, especially about creating a fairer society. So any one who knows more about politics able to tell me if they are really worth a shot? Will they be another lib dems that would sell their souls at the first sniff of power?

I want to be able to vote for a party that won't disappoint that would at least make a credible opposition to the mainstream.

ttosca, I would really be interested in the gist of their response. Realistically, I know that they will be a tiny minority after the next election. I am at a point right now of getting apathetic and opting out like a lot of people which is when dangerous people get in power.

I'm with you entirely there, and I agree with your feelings about the Lib Dems and Labour.

I don't really know how the Greens would be if they were in power. I can't predict their future. Their manifesto seems sound. I also wrote to Caroline Lucas recently, and I got a long, considered reply - which was very nice.

I can only say that I would sooner vote Green than any of the other large parties anyday.
