This doesn't make any sense. Libertarians and Green Party are two almost completely opposing ideologies. One supports much greater environmental spending and creation of publicly owned natural park lands, and the other demands no environmental spending and is against publicly owned anything. |
Nah, the Green and Libretarian partys actually agree on a LOT... more then 60% of the time I'd guess.
It's just they differ in the few areas the green party is most known for.
A Green/Libretarian coalition would see a LOT less military activity, a lot less on IP laws and recreational drugs, a lot less people being held to jail terms for minor issues.
I'd vote for either party over the repubs or dems any day.
It's worth noting that Ralph Nader threw his support behind Ron Paul this election cycle, even ahead of Obama.

"Look at the latitude," Nader says, referring to the potential for cooperation between libertarians and the left. "Military budget, foreign wars, empire, Patriot Act, corporate welfare—for starters. When you add those all up, that's a foundational convergence. Progressives should do so good."
