Internal Abuse in The Green Party

FrancieBrady · 2021-01-25 15:44:39

4th resignation of a councillor. This is becoming a real issue in the Green Party. Is accepting a role in government going to destroy the whole party? Is it effectively two parties now, the Eamonn Ryan one and the Catherine Martin one?…

I used to be a Greeny. It was good to have someone always saying "how will this affect the environment?"
They have managed to get environmental issues into the agenda for every major party and thus have succeeded in their mission.
Thus they have now turned quite red, dipping into housing and immigration - although they are still riding the "climate change" train of course, it's their meal ticket for the foreseeable future and their anchor to regular voters.

I think maybe because many of them are still idealists and not professional politicians they turn on each other.
