Well we got the green party in down here & probably had the first transgender elected politician, as well as the first politician with dreadlocks. Furthermore, the greenies have against most expectations, proved so competent that they have been re-elected in significant proportions for many elections now & currently carry a casting vote (in our system of proportional representation) strong enough to keep Labour honest when needed.
Initially seen as a bunch of loony tree-huggers out to legalise something green they have proven to be a significant political presence, who have garnered considerable respect based on their actions over time. & atracting more now than just those diullusioned with the behaviour of our mainstream parties.
