@AyoCaesar Hmm, Ash, you are not doing your credibility much good. Firstly, I'm not a member of the Green Party, or a supporter of any party.
This is your problem - "On the doorstep, many voters perceive them as solely an environmental party." The environment, is everything.

@AyoCaesar Everything is ecological, without it we wouldn't exist. If we don't radically re-structure our society, our civilization could collapse within the next 15 years because of the climate crisis, and if it does, most people will starve to death.
@AyoCaesar The Green Party, or people in it, are the only party, to even recognize the dire situation we are in (I am not claiming they have all the answers, but recognizing the problem is key. I wouldn't claim the Greens have the best tactical approach, but nor does anyone.

@NBPTROCKS @dlature Let me explain. I think the often focus on "climate solutions" is totally meaningless and a dangerous distraction. Like should we use, nuclear, geoengineering, CCS and a 1001 other climate solutions. All totally meaningless if there is no realistic means of implementing them.
1/
@NBPTROCKS @dlature I've been saying this to nuclear advocates, for 35+ years. I point out environmentalists are no obstruction to nuclear power, they don't have that sort of influence. I say, nuclear expansion doesn't happened for deep inherent problems, and therefore it's not a viable solution.

@NBPTROCKS @dlature Same with population fanatics. I say, okay, you are saying there are too many people. Then what do you aim to do about it, genocide, euthanasia, none of which are realistic, because people object to being murdered? They have no answers.
Fight the Oligarchs - Tax the Rich - Tax Billionaires Out of Existence - It really is that simple
Oligarchs, and the politicians in their pockets, are out of control. We need to stop them.

As most people know, I mainly commentate on the climate and ecological crisis, everything to do with the natural world, along with social justice, because climate justice = social justice.
But it is impossible to address any of this, with oligarchs undoing everything.

Oligarchs, billionaires, the other very rich, and all their puppets, are the obstacles to preventing the collapse of our civilization, because of our failure to address the climate and ecological crisis. Which as I've kept saying has been blocked by the very richest.

One thing is for certain, the current leadership of the Labour Part, lied their way into power, they are fraudsters. It's not just their treatment of the sick and disabled, we couldn't have anticipated when people voted for them.

Of course, the big one for me, is rowing back on Labour's climate commitments, which were already pathetically inadequate.
Then there is the clear anti-nature position of Starmer's government.
2/
There's brushing aside nature protection with developments and ridiculing rare species holding up developments. Remember we're in the middle of a biodiversity crisis, which this government, just laughs at.

That global change is climate change, and given the complete lack of either Keir Starmer, or any other government taking it seriously, there is no wonderful future of economic growth.
Climate change is not something that is going to hit us in the late 21st Century, but now.

As former UK government Chief Scientist, @Sir_David_King makes clear we have to take urgent and radical action now, or there will be very serious consequences for our civilization, like it collapsing.
This is not a crank belief, this is serious mainstream science. The cranks are people like Keir Starmer, who totally under-estimate the seriousness of this crisis. The UN Secretary General @antonioguterres talks about an "unliveable future".
