I'm enjoying seeing whether or not the English will buy the "The Monarchy's not that bad actually because he's hanging his nonce brother out to dry" narrative.

Notably just the English and Welsh Greens, with upper ranks still apparently a bit too close to Jorian Jenks Soil Yourself Association.

Guavanaut posted:Notably just the English and Welsh Greens, with upper ranks still apparently a bit too close to Jorian Jenks Soil Yourself Association. Yeah I'm still oscillating between Green & Plaid at the next general election. (Can I fix myself up to a dynamo & get free electricity?) I'm not particularly enamoured of the greens (nimbys in environmentalist clothes) and to be fair not very sure what Plaid's offerings will be. But if it looked like Green were going to get a good run at it in my constituency then maybe I would. But unless a miracle in the Labour Party occurs before then, I cannot bring myself to vote for Starmer's mob and am far from convinced they'll be better than the tories, not convinced at all that their 'we'll do it harder & tougher than the tories' rhetoric is merely a means to get into government and they won't actually be harder let alone their appalling behaviour to their more left members. And the thought of plastic-faced Wes Streeting being groomed as Starmer's successor (which I think they are doing)  But why oh why do all the politicians feel they must pander to the right? (rhetorical question).

Re Greenchat above: I've heard people describe them as "Green Tories". Could someone point me to a good summary of their policies? Labour waffling in this latest boat debate is the last straw for me, had thought about holding my nose & voting for Starmer's Labour but absolutely not now. I'm a big environment & wildlife fan: what should scare me about the greens?

In general a lot of green parties are not really about actual workable changes to society to improve environmental outcomes, they're touchy feely hippies or rural tories with a more agrarian bent. Obviously they almost universally loathe nuclear power despite it being one of the better historical options for reducing pollution and carbon emissions. They also generally aren't particularly left wing and so often have little interest in economic policy which would reduce the amount of resource expenditure on useless work or consumption. I would say they simply reflect the common conception of environmentalism, mired in personal choice performative gestures and largely unwilling to engage with the real meat of cutting capitalism's knees off. I would personally suggest that environmentalism and left wing economics are functionally inseparable, because providing for everyone's needs necessitates protecting the environment because people can't live without it, and capitalism is fundamentally incapable of not destroying the environment so it has to be destroyed if you're going to protect it. The two are intertwined, so a good green party (and a red party) should have identical policies. OwlFancier fucked around with this message at 08:13 on Mar 13, 2023 |

My green councillors seem to do a fair bit of good with local initiatives, cleaning litter, preserving historic green spaces and parks in town, and keeping some services going, but also are a bunch of NIMBYs against any new housing developments - apparently some empty farm fields near a housing estate and a golf course is pristine countryside worth preserving.

The Greens are far from perfect but I think they're still in favour of scrapping tuition fees and nationalising rail, mail, water and energy which is more then you'll get from anyone else. UBI was also in the last manifesto.

The green party is a wierd mix of environmental hippies lacking practical solutions (eg turning down new nuclear or hydro development to rely on wind, which is not really viable on its own) and then ex tory party nimbies who are incredibly upset that Boris planning shakeup means the field over the road from them (that they don't own) might grt planning permission to be a house, and now because of this care deeply about the environment insofar as "keeping green spaces green".

Calling them "Tories in wellies" is just a continuation of this threads habit of "no true leftist" Policies include - Nationalise rail and energy and water - scrapping University fees and wiping existing sent. - 16 and 17 year olds can vote - replace FPTP - scraping the home office - scrapping sales of weapons to other countries - switching to a housing first approach and stop criminalising the homeless - Tax income from investments/assets at the same level as the taxation of income from work, - introduce UBI The E&W greens are not perfect. They have some dumb policies, they have some terfs in their ranks. Want to moan they arnt left enough then I'm with you, but to call them Tories is just loving dumb.

Although when faced with the prospect of corbyn doing a bunch of good left wing stuff they were just as keen to make cheap nonsense shots as the tories, so I don't really believe they actually care about any of that poo poo. They're in business for themselves and that's it.

when I joined up with the greens all that time ago the  "no more chernobyls!"  were present but very much expected- but I wasn't expecting about as many green washing toryscum who wanted a bunch of tax breaks on their business because they put a solar panel up and said some nice things about a tree at some point still, if I don't spoil my ballot they might get my vote reet wimdy out there today, take care

Contrasted with Caroline Lucas publicly saying she wanted a German style coalition with Corbyn "Corbynism will offer the Red; it will be enormously refreshing to at last have an opposition that will make a stand against the savagery of austerity and seek to take back key strategic industries such as the railways into public ownership," Sadly it never came to be. It had support from the majority of greens at the time.

If you're going to spend on the killbots, make sure you send them enough oil so that they don't breakdown before they reach their kill-limit.

So, is he upset that Linekar used the bland, boring language he did when criticising the Tories? Is he upset that Linekar refused to use any racist or misogynist language in his tweets? Or is he just another performative hang-wringing New Labour oval office desperate to show how serious the party is about winning the votes of racists everywhere? Who can tell?

Mega Comrade posted:Calling them "Tories in wellies" is just a continuation of this threads habit of "no true leftist" Yeah, it turns out the environmental movement is a broad church. There's communists, liberals, Tories, probably even some fash and everything in between. There's definitely a chunk of the green movement that is dogshit, and that faction seems fairly prominent in the E&W Green, there's watermelons (red on the inside), mangoes (yellow on the inside) & Tories in wellies. And if their nuclear policies are such a sticking point for you then join up. It's a far more democratic party than any of the major ones so you can have your say on that. Though goons horn for fission never ceases to boggle the mind, even if I can see the point of view more than before I signed up here. It's like the SNP really, a broad church united by independence, with Tartan Tories and Socialists and melts.

Charles: But Andrew, you have to understand. You have admitted that you have a problem where you will enter into settlements where you hand over millions of pounds to people that you have never met before. So it's better for you if I hold onto our money, so you don't just sign it over to people who you did nothing to.
