Local Green councillor Jonathan Kempster says voters are turning away from divisive rhetoric towards positive action on nature and community empowerment
No thanks. I don't come here for political lectures. On so many subjects I hate the Greens. You paint the side that's for the environment. Go back and ask their policies towards tax, defence, spending, Israel, Pro-Islamic rights, Trans rights, immigration/ borders, nuclear energy, nimbyism, NATO, hard drugs, The Union, etc.
Bunch of dangerous radical cranks, they'd either ruin the country, break it up or both.
It's what they call a 'puff piece' for the party. The article was entirely a soapbox for them, with zero criticism of either their local or, more importantly, their divisive national policies. A party political promoter could not have wished for more.
I look forward to similar pieces on Labour, Conservative and Liberal Democrat local politicians. When are these scheduled for publication?
Now are you a political publication or not? If not then I expect to see them soon otherwise you've declared your interest and I'm out.
Really solid point about the shift away from divisive rhetoric toward tangible local action. What's compelling here is the emphasis on empowering communities rather than imposing top-down solutions, I've seen this play out in my neighborhood where small-scale rewilding projects actually got people talking across diffrent political lines. The challenge will be scaling these hyperlocal wins without losing the grassroots energy that makes them work in the firstplace.

Some balance please.
Hi Andrew - no lectures here. We’re not pro-Green just sharing an interview with a party gaining some traction in the area.
Appreciate your view and we will be sharing more diverse content over the coming year that we hope can stimulate some conversation and dialogue.
Thanks - James
