It’s not easy being Green
Claire Browning has a sensible piece on the Greens at Pundit. Enjoyed reading the article. Ms Browning highlights why the Greens get little political traction as opposed to moral satisfaction.
She concludes:-
The centre party policy I’ve outlined was Nandor Tanczos’ during his unsuccessful bid for the male co-leadership. He’s still trying here and here from outside Parliament. This gives me some comfort that the Greens are not just misunderstood: sadly, their position looks equally daft, from both inside and out.
There’s a cohort of green-friendly voters out there looking for a political home, perhaps not deeply ideologically attuned to either Labour or National and inclined to put the environment first. If the Greens won’t buff up their political act, perhaps Labour and National can smarten their environmental initiatives.
