I don't think there are many LDs that aren't concerned with environment issues; it took effort from the PR types to get the leadership to tone down the environment policies and stress other stuff; initiall the tax policy was billed as a "green tax switch" (which it is) but that didn't play well enough, as it's a bloodygood policy in its own right anyway, they pushed it differently, etc.

But yeah, better distinction this time, but nothing Green specific; raising taxes on alcohol at above inflation rates is popular with more than just Greens though, would've been a good Q I think.
