"Everyone had written me off - I think I was the only person on the planet who hadn't," Mr Booth said.

Celebrating with party faithful at The Hub in Launceston last night, Mr Booth said he was extremely happy with his personal vote of 8132 primaries, a 20 per cent total vote for the Bass Greens ticket and the Greens' impressive statewide performance.

"I am very, very happy because we have all worked very hard over the years and I think it is great to see the community has moved to the Greens and have given us support," he said.

Mr Booth said he was emotionally overwhelmed by leader Nick McKim's "visionary" speech in the Hobart tally room and was looking forward to working in a new Parliament.

"I think the challenge is for both the Labor and Liberal parties to recognise that people expect them to work for the betterment of the people and not in the interest of their parties," Mr Booth said.

"We have been subject to abuse rather than debate in the past and I am hoping we can discuss things rationally like a business would.

"We are the biggest company in town and we should be looking at co-operation."
