Unfortunately they don't have a representative in my area, but they have won my vote as of now.
However I don't support voluntary voting because technically actually voting isn't currently compulsory. You don't have to "vote" but you have to show up and put a paper in. Kinda pointless.
I am aware of that. Doesn't mean he won't try (and succeed) to get his ideas legislated.
The problem with the party-representative democracy system is that if you announce you support a party (such as the Greens) then people will immediately assume you support every one of their policies. Which...

Single-mindedness and bigotry
Chastity and asceticism
Overall lack of intelligence due to above list.
EDIT: Maybe the distinction between "belief in God" and "religion" should be...
