Which is a shame in some ways, as green politics sometimes seems like it’s viewed/used by some on the left merely as a convenient wrapper for attacking the centre. I hope to be proved wrong about that.
Could you expand on this a bit? Their core message is trying to tie together environmental justice with social and economic justice. Whether that’s trying to pull conservatives left or simply presenting as a left-wing party I’m not sure.
