Thanks Luis for this whole series.
Although I think of myself as politically aware, my being British has narrowed my perceptions. Your analysis was educational for me regarding particularly the whole 'Liberal' position on the continent as well as the accommodation made by all parties to the 'market' and 'monetarism'.

'Greens' do seem to have started with 'The Limits to Growth' but have attracted attention mostly by arguing on a succession of 'iconic' single issues? Nuclear accidents/security, in particular, (and historically, debates on nuclear war-fighting); pollution (toxics) and 'Big Business'/health (particularly Pharma and 'polluting industries'); and stemming from the latter, GM crops. The mixture of 'conservative' (traditional) and 'progressive' is not easy to maintain as a coherent set of policies. Climate change as a political issue has been relatively easy to combine with previous positions. Peak Oil has proved more difficult, because, though it appeals to the 'local life boats' wing, it raises matters like nuclear energy and biofuels. Biofuels and some biomass initiative s do get debated and biofuels get the thumbs-down from Green political alliance, it appears. The case for some nuclear (perhaps 10 to 20% of an increased centralized electric power generation - see Jerome a Paris recent thoughts on ToD?) can not apparently be considered by the Green Parties?
