Congratulations Sven, that's great news.
Yesterday was the first time I'd ever voted for the greens (Arun Mathur). Realistically, he never had a chance of winning, I just thought my vote might help cheer him up a bit. In the end though, he finished in a pretty respectable third place, and ahead of the Labour candidate
(I'm not sure if that is any kind of a breakthrough in this area but it's still quite impressive to me.) I don't think I'd like the green party to run the country but I'm all for them having a significant voice in things.
It is interesting that Brighton seems to be the #1 hotbed for the green party in the UK. I know the 'Right-on Brighton' stereotype but it isn't a remotely rural or 'green' place. It's hard to think of anywhere in the UK, outside of London, where people live on top of each other more. Perhaps that's it

If you can sort out household waste disposal there, you'll be made a God.
