In the New Statesman Anoosh Chakelian argues that the rise of the Greens is irresistible, and there is nothing Labour can do to stop them taking votes: http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2015/01/why-labour-cant-counter-greens-popularity-green-policies
However, I think Ms Chakelian errs when she portrays the Greens as a progressive party.
They are of course reactionary.
And Green policy is full of contradictions - as you can prove for yourself by engaging them on the subject of immigration.
But Anoosh Chakelian is right - the Greens are going to do a lot of damage to Labour between now and May.
