Policies under the 'Green New Deal' are good in theory. Calling it the Green New Deal doesn't make much sense in the UK though. In the US context it obviously evokes Roosevelt's New Deal. I would think at least 80% of the UK population would give you a blank stare if you referenced Roosevelt's New Deal. Copying the name 'Green New Deal' from AOC was obviously a bit lazy.
You are probably right, I learned about the new deal in gcse history so thought it was common knowledge. I really hope they manage to repackage it and make it easily accessible, it’s one of the policies I truly believe in was most excited about.
