The Greens promised to push Labour to be more radical but are instead acting how they always have: pro nimby, anti-environment.

I didn’t vote Green, obviously. If I had, I imagine I’d be pretty angry that pretty much their first act having quadrupled their number of MPs was to oppose green development.

    It’s not great, but both methods have their pros and cons, even for the environment. But you are very clearly pushing some bullshit anti Greens agenda here, which is even worse for green development.

      There’s no bullshit involved. I have an anti-Green agenda because I have a pro-green agenda. Both in and out of power, the Greens oppose actual green development in favour of nimbyism. They have shown this in this case by immediately using their much-vaunted quadrupling in representation to oppose a project which would help meet the goal of decarbonising the grid by 2030. This is very much part of a pattern.

      Whatever my limited influence on green development, I can guarantee it’s of smaller impact than Ramsay’s nimbyism.

            If you have to use a conservative corpo source then I have barely any other choice than that. But you continue your capitalistic propaganda shit.

              It doesn’t matter who says ‘This Green politician opposes solar farms’ because this Green politician does oppose solar farms. Ranting about capitalist propaganda does not change the facts

                  No amount of ranting can change the facts.

                  I am not projecting. As I said, it’s part of a pattern of behaviour, as demonstrated by the Greens co-leader’s opposition to pylons and by their official opposition to HS2. Here are some more examples, although to be honest, I’m not sure how many more you need to accept that the Greens consistently do this: siding with nimbys over the environment is a deliberate electoral strategy for them.
