People who wouldn't vote green often agree with their policies when polled. They definitely have an image/communication/reputation problem. I'm not saying he's the guy to do it but I think it's something that could be done.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
[email protected] appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Nearly every time I hear about the Greens now, it’s about who the next leader will be
I don't think Greens will get much sway until they start scapegoating disadvantaged groups.
Blaming society's ills on the rich and powerful won't work while they are, well, powerful no matter how true it is. The poor get poorer and the rich get richer, until majour outlets start discussing that we'll continue to blame single mums, trans people, disabled people, immigrants, gingers, anything but the actual problem.
Until then I don't think we as a country will ever stop supporting Conservative, Labour, Libdems, and now Reform over Greens.
As MPs, Adrian and I are already speaking out in parliament every day, challenging injustice and bringing the voice of grassroots campaigns into the parliamentary system. We’re insurgents with integrity, campaigners with a platform in the Commons.
The most prominent thing Ramsay has done since getting elected is getting in the news for some stupid take against pylons. One of the most important things a Green Party leader should be concerned with is getting the Greens into the national conversation, and Ramsay is just either incapable or unwilling to do the work to actually do that.
We believe the Green party can and must take on Reform and win. Not by aping the divisive “populist” rhetoric of Farage, but by connecting with the broadest possible range of people and showing that Green policies embody their aspirations for a fairer country and a livable future.
Reform have managed to get more seats in 7 years as the Greens have got in 34, and are projected to gain hundreds of seats at the next election while the Greens projected gains are ~2. But sure, it's the Greens who will have a pivotal say if the next Parliament is hung.
