It isn't. They all need to start getting louder and take more political risks.
But they won't. They like the job too much.

Maybe since the Green Party is a minority in parliament, they require the support of a larger party to get any policies implemented. If they were to insist on a more extreme/effective policy, it would be unlikely to instated.
There is an issue with this sort of thing as more effective policies tend to be politically unpalatable as predominately most people in the general public will say they care about the environment, but are unwilling to change their lifestyle in any way, therefore are unlikely to support a political party which is implementing policies which will affect their lifestyle.
