My doubt about the relevance is related to my doubt on the relevance of voting altogether. Furthermore, I don't think Groenlinks will get a lot of zetels; I am not sure wether the design of the communal website will ever get discussed, and I am not sure wether groenlinks will be able to have any influence on this. But still, I was pleasantly supprised when I read it. Bye, Joost
