Green leader Carla Denyer slams Elon Musk, Farage, and the rise of Reform

Good to see a Green MP being given a proper interview. Eve better she is being allowed time to respond coherently, without being constantly interrupted and shouted down.

Yes critical thought and challenging her points wouldn’t go down well for the Green Party would it?

[@IllusionistBeatsOfficial]

​@LC-lg3lg pretty ironic that you'd rather have a one way discourse that supports your ideology though, isn't it? It isn't properly a critical discourse if you don't let her speak.

The Green Party is rarely invited onto programmes like BBC Question Time because those in charge would prefer to avoid exposing the public to alternative and practical ideas, instead favouring the overrepresentation of simplified, business-driven politics, such as those promoted by parties like Reform.

Well there is only 4 of them and they have been on there a few times. Also worth noting Reform has more clout and popularity in general - they're currently polling at 24% according to yougov, whereas Greens are at 9%. So if anything Greens need to do better on their political messaging

@@ecnalms851 Which came first, the chicken or the poll? Last time I checked, when Reform and Greens were polling about the same, there was a STAGGERING amount of coverage of Reform over Greens. Say what you like, but our media LOVES fascism, and so do particular Brits.

​@ Reform's political messaging and policies got them more clout which in turn got them media attention which in turn has also got them more clout (eg: meeting Elon Musk). You make it seem like this is a conspiracy when in reality Greens are simply bad at political messaging. If they want to be seen as more serious than they have to grow up and start up conversations and actually make themselves interesting in this political era. Be loud, be highly critical, so you actually get attention.

Can we please stop blaming issues on “the last 15 years”?

I'm a member of the green party and when asked why she thinks greens got small bump reform got big bump I was disappointed by the response to say the least I was hoping to hear because reform is pouncing on the dissatisfaction and offering scapegoats and justifying those feelings of anger and the greens message of redistributive economics don't play on peoples emotions in the same way. Instead she got back to point sounding dare I say it very labour like, rehearsed and off topic for the question but on message for her. Disappointing.

Though I have heard, in that interview Farage did about a former Corbyn supporter joining Reform, the exact sort of message of the big banks and multinationals being in charge of our lives and a deeply unequal society that could have been said by anyone on the left. The Greens are missing that kind of communicator in their parliamentary team. If only a Zarah Sultana or someone similar could defect across or form a Green-Left alliance that made those statements - although I'm nervous that we put off some of the Tory-Green voters that may have made the difference taking seats in Waveney Valley and North Herefordshire. There is a Trade Union group and a Workers policy group within the party. There's also Greens Organise which is to the left. These are internal groups which are growing right now.

Get out there and be mean about it, don't say something like "well we need to be mindful of the far right and it is a very concerning issue". Err on the side of "if it is a salute then it is despicable and minimises the suffering that our parents and grandparents had to go through to prevent the Germans from taking over the continent". That's what is meant when we people say you're "too nice" and going by the "old rules" - you're acting like a well to do statesman.
