She was asked to mun by one of the Green Party members. She decided to mrn because she wants to give voters a credible alternative, and provide an opportunity for voters to show their concerin. Through their vote thley are sending a very clear message to the government regarding their concern for the enviromnent. Hurvid stresses tIhat the Green Party is not a single policy party. The Party has policies on all major issues. The thing that sets this party apart from the other parties that simply pay lipservice to the environmnent, is- the underlying philosophies. The Gr,ýen Party believes in sustainable and socially useful employment for everyone.
