    Maybe the Greens should prioritise the environmental aspects of their politics and TACTICALLY place social domestic issues second to those (though work to show how social policies link with environmental ones). The right-wing media has been able to hijack Green foreign policies and use the anti-semitism strategy they refined against Corbyn’s Labour. Green’s haven’t pushed back hard enough on the “populists” label they’ve been given and the idea they’re a mirror image of the far-right.

    The electorate isn’t the same as intellingent, aware politically interested people. Half of the electorate are half-asleep at the best of times and just want someone to tell them who to vote for. They expect Greens to be “Green” and, the Green Party does need to take this into account. At a time when the climate crisis is the worst we’ve experienced where are all the protests? It’s like there’s been a decision not to make a big deal of this and channel protest into electoral work instead. I’d be interested to know if this was actually the case.
