The Green Man

Saw him interviewed yesterday. No disrespect to the guy, but same old same old whilst trying to sound new and exciting. Essentially saying 'we need better this, better that, and the Greens with me at the helm are the only ones that can deliver it!'
Yeah, whatever.
Yeah, whatever.
Bit like Sunack, Johnston, Truss and May agreeing that there was no magic money tree and then adding £1.2 Trillion to the national debt...

Essentially just like every other party then.
An inevitable consequence of our adversarial system.
Are you asking for a friend or just curious?
Three parties, let's call them A, B and C
A's in power. They semi-deliver or don't really deliver at all.
B and C say A is rubbish, they can do better.
C are next in power. They semi-deliver or don't really deliver at all.
A and B say C is rubbish, they can do better.

Round and round it goes. The longer you're on the planet, the more you realise how cyclically sh1te it is.
Reeves needs the ball s to put up taxes to fund the debt
He might change us but will we know it?
A huge risk appointing him but he may appeal to the young vote and tear a chunk out of Labor. All those ungrateful new young voters.

Green party is just an excuse to push more LGBTQ policies and destroy the family institution
Is that policy?
They have a housing policy called, Our Right Homes, Right Place, Right Price Charter, a pledge to insulate homes as required to lower energy bills and curb emissions. A pledge to build new social housing and protect renters from the excessive tendencies of GRQ landlords. The usual stuff about protecting the NHS, and improving access to NHS dentists. Ending cases of HIV by 2030 may be ambitious but they will make an effort to recognise minorities and give them the same standard of care, rather than marginalising them as many 'normal' folk like to do.
There's a long wish-list of policies, as you'd expect from a small political party with ambition to positively affect policy making in the HoC and if you'd like to know more: click here.
One or two of their ideas will fall on stony ground: recognising Palestine, for one and still they intend to sign the TPNW, which will assuage the old CND tendency but go no further than that. Their farming policy is excellent, as you'd expect. A mixed bag of oats to feed your mind and give food for thought, but what i'd like to see is firmer rhetoric from the Green man - stop apologising for taking a stand on CC, for a start, and make sure the militant campaigners are better at keeping Green issues in the public eye.
Opponents usually weasel out of debate by saying "it's not my fault, so why should i pay Green taxes?" Individually, this may be true, but collectively we're all accountable in one way or another for taking responsibility on how we react to Climate Change and what we do about it. The world was burning before i was born, and will go on long after i'm gone but what i can do here and now may make a difference to our environment, and i see that as a good enough reason to make an effort, however small.
