But the Greens might be the closest to Bernie Sanders in terms of policies even though they seem to get a lot of hate here for being "hippies" and such.
I'm a Greens guy and I'd rather Labour over Liberal. Thats all I'll say.
If I got your point correctly, I'm not that extreme, but policies are about more than just animal rights and in general I see myself agreeing with the Greens more than with Labour or Liberal/Coalition.
