    We have had 7 MMP elections so far and the Greens - even with solid
    and respectable leadership, have got this far:

    - never more than 16% of the party vote
    - between 0 and 1 electorate MPs

    So only a concern should they be part of a multi-party coalition. No
    real sign of that happening either with Labour as low as they are
    since 2008 and Winston First with even smaller numbers than the
    Greens.

    Keep them I say. They keep taking votes from Labour so they can't be all bad
