An exception is unfortunately likely to be France, where les Verts have just announced they are pulling out of their electoral pact with the PS. Whether that's a wise decision or not I don't know, but it certainly means a long, hard slog to rebuild a credible green party. Either that, or the opponents of an alignment with the left (the supposed "apolitical" greens) will take the party wandering off into the marshes signposted "Neutrality", "the Centre", etc.
