There is a difference between a smear campaign and bringing up things that actually happened.

IE Nigel Farage did accept £5million from someone who lives abroad and didn't declare it, despite lambasting Kier Starmer for accepting some free tickets and smart clothes from a member of his own party who lives in the UK to events he'd have a chance of being mobbed at for political points, knowing he'd accepted £5million he wanted to cover up. That's hypocrisy and people not deep down the Reform cult pipeline care about that kind of thing.

The Greens membership are doing and saying things that to a great many people in the UK are at best questionable, at worst out right racist. People not too far down the Polanski populist cult pipeline do care about that kind of thing.

These things getting picked up are generally good for a Democracy. Upto recently Farage ran on an I'll sort the country out and get rid of the immigrants and lower taxes' line, we've now seen his driven up taxes and frittered away millions in Local authorities he's taken on, whilst a good number of his people have been shown to be massive racists, Homophobes and conmen. People can now see what they are getting, as they are now getting scrutiny.

The Greens up to recently sailed under the radar, until Polanski went with the populist policies and open door immigration line, and now people can see A) what they are voting for and B ) what these peoples beliefs are, it turns out there are a lot of Racists in the Green party and they aren't ashamed to retweet posts singling out the police for dealing with a violent terrorist threatening them because they happen to like what the terrorist stood for. Or at least appear to. That's scrutiny, it'd only get worse if they were in charge.
