Deep dives

Discontent within the Green Party

Concerns are raised about the internal struggles within the Green Party, particularly regarding the influence and actions of members who have distanced themselves from the party's core values. The recent attacks against the Greens are seen as part of a broader campaign, orchestrated by the Democratic Party, to undermine the party's integrity without fully addressing the party's current standing and leadership. Historical issues stemming from prior election cycles have caused a disconnect between long-time supporters and more recent participants, further complicating the party's dynamics. This situation emphasizes the need for commitment and active involvement among party members to resist external pressures and rebuild the party's support base.
