Good piece by Chris Trotter on the stuff website. He devides the political spectrum into two great remaining meta- narratives - neo-liberalism and ecologism. The fundamental logic of the former repudiates the inter- relatedness of all living things in the name of the sovereign individual. Ecologisms fundamental insight rejects entirely the logic of individualism in the name of the interdependent whole. In short: I gives way to We. He includes the Labour party in the neo-liberalism camp , abet with some social add ons. His challenge to the Greens is to stop being so nice , if they get dumped by Labour for NZ First they should force a new election just to make the point that the future of our planet is way more important than political power games. stuff.co.nz/the-press/opinion/columnists/chris-trotter/9964566/The-Greens-are-out-on-their-own?fb_action_ids=10203578219354444&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_ref=s%3DshowShareBarUI%3Ap%3Dfacebook-like
