What Does the Green Party Really Want?

Following their Trip episode on Ecology, the ACFM crew take a closer look at the Greens as Zack Polanski’s party nudges past Labour in national polls.

Have the Greens got what it takes to become the main political vehicle of the radical left? Or is a blue-green coalition still a possibility? And can the party become the site of the kind of weird left culture celebrated by ACFM? Whither Acid Polanskism?

From the 60s dream of ‘steady state economics’ to the anarcho-green convergence of ’90s rave culture, the Green tendency is mapped out by Nadia, Jem and Keir – with ideas from Playboy, Zack Goldsmith, David Icke and some sensible people too.
