The new leader of the Green Party is certainly making waves, but only amongst the membership. His crazy way about politics is hardly endearing to the wider public. He has all sorts of views, far beyond the cosy confines of climate righteousness and into the deep end of an ongoing liberal rights saga. The maelstrom is overwhelming at times and it’s as populist as his targets.
The right way ahead for him is shouting to the rooftops about the same issues as before. He may be able to pump a room but the doorstep is a much different encounter. He needs to find warmth in his soul to counter the arguments people already have. The UK public is dead set against many of the policies he chooses to trumpet, and have long harangued those promoting their worth.
