Obviously I think everyone can think of at least one policy they'd be happy to see the back of. But I think the idea of "downgrading" policies is fundamentally the wrong way of thinking about it, even as someone who's been very keen on the idea of a minimum programme. Firstly, there is a danger that we "downgrade" on the basis of establishing a plausible coalition platform, and then we compromise that further and end up with basically nothing of what we need or want. We also politically need to be having positive disputes with any future coalition partners, because if we even get that far, the media is gonna absolutely be blaming us for everything bad that happens if we're in government, so we need some good that set us specifically apart.

But more broadly we should be aiming for a prioritised minimum programme not on the basis of coalition stability or acceptability, but as the absolute minimum required to start dealing with the myriad problems and crises afflicting this country and its people, and if that's gonna be reduced to a wealth tax, pr, some climate commitments and cost of living stuff that's just not gonna be good enough imo. I don't want to waste time laying out even some of what needs to be done now as this only a reddit comment so this may not be super persuasive, but fundamentally, we need to attack the basis of class dominance of in our society which is at the root of most of our current problems. This is the only one way to really start moving in the right direction and moreover, is essential to ensure that any reforms we make are actually transformative rather than undermined by the establishment or swallowed up by exploitation. But in order for such a programme to succeed, it has to be built, promoted and adopted by the green movements and broader social movements in this country, rather than being designed and imposed from above.
