The Greens need an image makeover…
How should they rebrand?
New colour? New name?
Suggest away!
#auspol1/4
I've been thinking about them a bit since the election.
I'd *like* to be able to vote for them (because I want to conserve the environment and I'm generally progressive), but I've always found them too idealistic, unrealistic and self-righteous.
2/4
If they are happy being a fringe party that is largely electorally irrelevant then it doesn't matter what they call themselves.
If, however, they want to *matter*, then it's not about branding or colours, it's about not taking every far-left position available, giving each other a round of...
3/4
finger snaps and then accusing people of not understanding preferential voting when they lose.
They are no longer the party of one big target (the environment), they seem to be a party of a tonne of small targets that a lot of people don't give a shit about, but they seem to think are...
4/4
... incredibly important.
It's a shame, really. We need a viable progressive party that can work with the ALP and be sufficiently relevant to drag the larger party to the left on the environment, but they can't seem to rein in their need to be "right" about everything.
May 11, 2025 21:57I think there are some major issues that both parties ignore
There’s big money behind both parties and it’s an exhausting battle fighting that with a grassroots party so any wins are hard fought for. The Liberals are hard right and I think Labor are hardly left at all so it’s a hard slog.
Absolutely. The marriage between the two majors and certain business groups is frustrating.
I would like the ALP to be more progressive than they are... And that's why I want the Greens to be more relevant.
