He was, but the wider greens weren't

Quite. He is quite messianic so I expect it to be the wider policy. So now two populist parties. Snake oil salesmen.

Luckily, that's not popular with British voters, they prefer slow and steady as she goes change, hence Starmer's phenomenal popularity

That's the problem isn't it. People like painless quick fixes. Plus a culture that celebrates ignorance.

Someone in Government has got to start telling the truth about immigration and the economy. And the truth doesn't start with 'Ive got a flag in my bedroom that I sleep with'

Getting the message out with the press infatuated with Farage. The survey where large %s thought MPs expenses are a large part of the budget etc. A massive education campaign is needed. How do you start when some people are barely numerate (how much is a billion etc).

I agree 💯, but unfortunately I'm at the stage now where I think we have to write off 20% of the electorate, they're not listening and even if they were they don't want 'difficult choices'. We've got to communicate with the remainder and just be upfront about the problems and the lack of quick fixes
