In our forum has raised the question of coalitions. Perhaps the greens will
be allied with the liberal conservative PSDB to compete with the social
democrats of the PT in a possible second round in presidential election. In
Sao Paulo, the greens are combined with the liberal PSDB in the the state
government that implemented various conflict policies like teaching
anti-piracy's theology in schools and replacement of free software on public
computers to micro$oft software.

And another question is that the candidates in other parties do not
necessarily follow our principles, there would be no control by us. But the
greens probably would use its control in our candidates.
