As their popularity rises the Green Party of England & Wales will see its policies gain more attention & criticism in the media.
The FT has run a long analysis of various policies this morning, suggesting that while popular, they may be under-estimating the need to find ways to convince bond-market actors their economic policies are 'credible'.
If the GPEW is not already reaching out to calm such actors, they might want to think about quietly (and pragmatcally) doing so.
The West as a whole is long-overdue a public debate on the incestuous relationship between politics and finance and the degree to which our democratic choices can be compromised by embedded financial systems.
Other ways of working are clearly possible, if not necessarily easy to navigate, but too many politicians have spent too long accepting the TINA mantra and claiming to be grownups for supporting a broken status quo.
Agreed; as not infrequently said here
Yes, one of your regular themes thankfully.
