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.

Maybe bond-market actors do not have our best interests at heart.
@mrundkvist @ChrisMayLA6 I wouldn't be the first to point out that they don't even understand macroeconomics! A currency-issuing government can always cover the interest on bonds, can never become insolvent, and - this is the kicker - does not even need to "borrow" from markets in order to spend. If the UK can spend money into existence for quantitative easing (QE) or Covid measures, then it can do so for any other purpose. 🤷🏻‍♂️
@ApostateEnglishman @mrundkvist @ChrisMayLA6 And there is the factor of being a sovereign nation.
