How many people vote for the Green Party?

Why not work with the "big guns" (pathetic and all as they are) rather than with a marginal party whose membership are perceived as more a conglomeration of anti-technology Luddites rather than true environmentalists.

The greens do have the Environment ministry in the Republic so for the purposes of light pollution they are big guns - it makes sense to work with them.

One of ILPAC founders (and a good few on the ILPAC mailing list) are members of the green party, and my local Green TD has been of help in the past so we have good links to build on.

Cheers,
