Don't know where you're from but i bet there is a green party in your country that got like 1% of the votes in the last election.

    There is GreenPeace that was outlawed this year, but yes there is a green party, it only once reached 1% and they hold 0.1% of seats in regional governments, so they existed indeed. I never thought of this as a way to do something about the issue. On the downside they have a pretty bad stance on everything else, and even the green position is not very consistent

    In a de facto two party system it certainly can feel like a spoiler vote, however a single issue party can be highly influential in getting larger parties to adopt better positions on those single issues in order to avoid having votes syphoned away. In a truely multiparty system, a single issue party can directly extract concessions if they end up as part of a coalition government or are in a king-maker situation following an election.
