Because saving the world matters to me,but so do stuff like schools, health, the economy, foreign policy, etc. Which the greens have no real policy on. However, on a council level, I would like a council who cares about the environment, who introduces recycling schemes and works to improve public transport, and conserve areas of greenland, etc.
Plus - the greens have a chance of getting in on the council level in some places (where I used to live there were several green seats). But on a national level it's a wasted vote.

I know what you mean.But I have to argue with the 'wasted vote' comment.
there is no such thing as a wasted vote unless you just don't bother to use it.
The vote is there to register your support for someone, not as a 'guess the winner' ticket.

I care more about keeping the tories outthan I do about getting any of the others in. I wish this wasn't the case, and that there was a party I could really believe in, but there isn't.

Another reaonsable pointEven if there's nobody you want to vote for there should be someone you want to vote against.
Voting for who you believe in is still not a wasted vote though.
