[Redalgo]

There are a lot of things I actually like about the Greens but as a strong advocate of nuclear energy, alter-globalization, reasonably low tax rates on businesses, and a balanced approach to federalism it makes me somewhat uneasy when green parties want to raise certain taxes or tariffs, shun nuclear energy in favor of renewable sources alone, encourage people to buy local instead of from whomever offers the best qualities and/or prices for goods and services, and place a big emphasis on grassroots democracy (something I think can be but is not invariably a good thing). Just like in the States, I like to be generally pro-green but there are a few big snags in policy compatibility that hold me back from enthusiastically signing on.

On the other hand, I love the greens' stances on social matters and approve of them for being more humanistic and less corporatist than many of their social democratic - and some of their democratic socialist - counterparts.
