What sort of change? I agree with the parent that they spread themselves across too many fringe issues. I.e I may vote the greens to help save the environment, but that doesn't mean I care about kids with gender dysphoria.

- lurker72 8y agoThat doesn't fully work, because I may care about environment but I may strongly disagree with everything else on their agenda. The main issue with the greens is that they don't stand for one thing anymore. They try and stand for everything. Plus, I don't think most normal people have time to be sending letters to political parties.
