The teenage green doesnt seem much worried about losing EMA/local leisure centres/parental unemployment/tuition fees and youth unemployement then.

Is that representative of young greens?

Considering that Labour's policy is to salash the deficit as well I think you've missed his point.

He clearly states that he thinks the Tories are wrong on the economy but the purpose of his post is to remind how shit Labour were/are and that a Labour government and it's not an appealing alternative for him.

Although... if you glance back through his other articles he's for building alliances with other groups that also oppose tuition fees, etc.

Anyway, I wouldn't have written that article, but thought it was worth a read.
