Greens Abandon Environment For Culture

Updated: 2025.12.01 5D ago 3 sources
The UK Green Party’s new leadership is spotlighting broad left causes (policing, gender politics, wealth taxes) while internal rows over gender orthodoxy consume oxygen. Meanwhile, only a small slice of would‑be Green voters rank the environment as the top issue. This decouples 'green politics' from environmental problem‑solving just as Net Zero support wanes. — If environmental parties morph into generic progressive vehicles, climate policy momentum may stall even as the brand 'green' gains votes.
