New party?

New party?

OPINION: Will departing Greens coleader James Shaw set up a new party?

On social media Shaw has been praised for bringing legitimacy to the Greens, otherwise seen by many as a radical left wing set up.

There are calls for Shaw to set up a new party.

On X (formerly Twitter) contributor hopes that Shaw sets up a “real” environment party that can work on both sides of the house.

“I am sure many would back that. The radical left masquerading as a green party needs to be a thing of the past.”

“James Shaw could go and set up an actual Green Party in time for the next election. I think a lot of legitimate Green issues need to be addressed and the current party is clearly not capable, or focused at all, on doing that,” wrote another.

Two-Faced System

OPINION: If farmers poured just a few litres of some pollutant into a stream, the Green Party and the wider wooden bicycle enthusiast community would be on their soapboxes screaming about dirty farmers and demanding a harsh penalty, which regional authorities would be gagging to administer.

OPINION: Your old mate has long dismissed the Greens as wooden bicycle enthusiasts with their heads in the clouds, but it looks like the ‘new Greens’ may actually be hard-nosed pragmatists when it comes to following voters.
