Are The Greens About To Lose Their Last True Green

The NZ Herald is today reporting that this election may be the last for Green co-leader Jeanette Fitzsimons. It is also suggesting that Fitzsimons might stand down as leader as early next year.

But it does raise the prospect of an accommodation with Laila Harré and Matt McCarten and a superparty of the far left.
