Les Verts have their reasons to complain about the PS, I agree, and not just on electoral matters. There's still a strong productivist streak in the PS old base, and considerable suspicion of green stuff. That's one of the reasons (and has been for sooo long) why the PS needs to change.

All the same, it seems some of the Green political neutralists won out in this decision - according to Noël Mamère, anyway.
