Do you not think that Brits find the greens excessively bossy, even authoritarian, and economically naive? We have made enormous strides, with vast offshore arrays now producing serious amounts of electricity, solar farms popping up everywhere, and coal-burning power stations a thing of the past. Our cities are increasingly closed off for private cars, and increasingly high standards for sustainability in new buildings, and incentives for upgrades in existing stock. The govt is fully signed up to the end of the internal combustion engine, and so on. This country's carbon footprint is seriously diminished.
There is, I suspect, a widespread feeling that all green politicians will do is to limit our freedoms, and at best constrain the economy. The balance has to be right. What we do need is some serious investment in public transport, most relevantly a lot more trams, both within and beyond the metropolitan areas. Europe is leagues ahead on this front.
France, and much of Europe, is turning into a vast windfarm, and the streets are increasingly cluttered up with self-regarding, virtue-signalling green signage in primary colours. I'm not convinced that many would welcome this kind of unfettered uglification here.
