I wish the greens would come up with some kind of coherent policy. On literally anything at all.
Their manifesto is basically just “we don’t like things that destroy the environment” which isn’t a bad, but it’s also not exactly compatible with the modern world.
They don’t like HS2 for example because it might harm some trees. I would love it if we can somehow figure out a way to build magic hover trains that fly over all of the foliage, but since that haven’t been invented I think cutting a few trees down is an acceptable compromise for progress.
I did the survey on all topics and agreed with greens on more points than any others, in a blind test they seem sensible, almost everyone I’ve sent to the site has fed back more agreement with the greens than anyone else.
It’s easy to agree with them, none of their proposals have to be tempered by the reality of being possibly implemented. They can promise the world and they know it’s fine because they’ll never have to deliver same with Reform, but just left-wing rather than right.
I would like to see their policies have some kind of relationship with practical reality. That includes the realization that sometimes you need to build nuclear power stations, sometimes trees need to be cut down for infrastructure projects, and occasionally you have to do things people don’t like.
For example we need more housing, that’s going to cut into the environment and will necessitate building on old green belt land. They can’t just be against it, that’s not a practical response so I’d like to see a nuanced understanding of the topic rather than a blanket “no more building”
