Those people don't care about traditional green policies very much. I wonder if the Greens could see some "North Herefordshire" style supporters go to the Lib Dems when that becomes clearer.

One involves prancing around the streets shrieking "look at me look at meee", while the other involves actually having to step up do some work.
