The UK's Green Party has much more leverage than many people realise - the political positions of its leader set it apart. It can shape and shift narrative in surprising ways. It can also embolden those Labour MPs who are horrified by the government's direction to agitate for change.
The Green Party, positioned consistently and with high visibility as one leader of an international coalition of progressive parties, could be a lightning rod for hope. If that sounds implausible, well: that's exactly what Reform is doing for their camp. No reason why Greens can't do the same.
(To explain: I was working in press and media communications when the Labour Party had leaders you could actually call left-wing, and one frustration I had was that they never built enough of a presence in international media. That allowed the English media to distort their messaging far too much.)
This is a really valuable perspective and it makes a lot of sense. Thanks!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that!
