Ok, so let’s examine “this”…
“Lower bills” - by opposing every baseload energy source that would actually lower them. You Greens have spent decades blocking nuclear, obstructing domestic gas extraction, and cheerleading an intermittent renewables buildout that has made Britain’s grid among the most expensive in the developed world. The bills are high because of people like you, not in spite of you.
“Tax billionaires” - the perennial comfort blanket. Britain has roughly 170 billionaires. You could confiscate - not tax, confiscate - their entire combined wealth and it wouldn’t fund the NHS for a single year. This isn’t a fiscal policy, it’s vibes based policy. It is unserious nonsense and exists solely to virtue signal to people who don’t understand basic economics, maths, business, human incentives, first/second/third order consequences, the energy market, or the bond market.
“End Rip Off Britain” - from the party whose planning objections add five figures to every new housing unit, whose regulatory instincts make it harder to build anything from a reservoir to a pylon, and whose immigration posture suppresses wages at the bottom while inflating demand for the services they claim to defend. The rip-off is the policy environment the Greens advocate for.
This is a crucial part of your policymaking being purely performative and deeply insubstantial. This cuts to the heart of it, because EVERY POLICY you propose would accelerate the very crisis you claim to diagnose and seek to cure. Let me break it down for you in simple terms:
1/ Tax wealth, and capital relocates - shrinking the denominator that funds public services.
2/ Expand the state, and you absorb more labour into sectors structurally immune to productivity gains - Baumol’s cost disease made into a governing philosophy.
3/ Open the borders, and you suppress wages at the bottom while inflating demand for housing, healthcare, and education that’s already buckling.
4/ Nationalise utilities, and you embed the productivity gap permanently, funded by the same gilts market that’s already pricing in fiscal unsustainability. It’s not a remotely serious programme, it’s really nothing more than a feedback loop disguised as compassion, wrapped in vibes.
5/ “And enjoy yourself” - your only remotely honest line. Because, as those of us with functioning grey matter know, the Green Party isn’t a political movement at all. It’s a lifestyle brand and support group for people who think the economy is a ‘vibes’ exercise and that energy comes from good intentions and ‘compashun and incloosivitee ackshually’. You do not offer a programme - you offer a bumper sticker for adults who never got past the “why can’t everything just be nice” stage of political development.
You are one of two things: a clownish infantile moron, or, a shameless populist opportunist.
Either way you aren’t to be trusted, “Zack”.
And - your own party despises you (receipts below).
