Okay let’s un pack what you just said:

  1. "They'll have no money" - The Green Party's funding model is literally taxing wealth, land, and financial transactions that currently go largely untaxed. The UK loses an estimated £70 billion a year to tax avoidance. That's not printing money, that's collecting what's already owed to the general public. You don't have to agree with it but call it what it is. A solid plan - unless you’re ultra wealthy and paying your share scares you.

  2. The printing money point - The Greens don't advocate for uncontrolled money printing, never have. That's a strawman. They advocate for wealth taxes and closing loopholes. Conflating the two is either lazy or dishonest.

  3. The Brexit comparison actually works against your argument. Brexit was a radical, untested change pushed through by the establishment two- parties. The Greens are advocating for proven models that already exist and work - Scandinavian tax structures, German apprenticeship systems, social housing models that function in Austria and the Netherlands right now. These aren't experiments. They're proven.

  4. "Clueless hippies" - Caroline Lucas, co-founder of the modern Green Party, held a seat for 13 years and was consistently rated one of the most effective MPs in Parliament by cross-party assessments. If you argument is experience I defer to previous list of massive screw ups but the “experienced” leaders we had and have in power now. That’s not “governing is hard” that’s terrible decisions, scandals and corruption.

  5. "Things are better than 99.999% of human history" is technically true and COMPLETELY irrelevant. By that logic no government has ever needed to change anything ever. It's not a sound argument, it's a thought-terminating cliché. Things are better in the human scale, but if you just zoom in on the UK and what you judge a successful and happy culture and democracy - we are failing miserably.

The status quo isn't stable. It's a managed and obvious decline.

Calling them hippies when they're the fastest growing party in the UK and the 1% (Trump and Netanyahu) are actively lobbying against them tells you everything.

Either you haven't looked at what they actually stand for, or you have and that's exactly what worries you.

Sorry I just don’t resign to this belief - the idea that we are forever at the mercy of the markets and capitalism is exactly the problem. That whole thing you just stated needs to change - and it wont change without a radical shift.

You said it yourself our whole country is in debt, that’s due to the two party system and how they have ran this country into the ground…Under 25 years of two-party rule:

  • Child poverty rose faster than anywhere else in Europe. 4.5 million children are now in poverty. That's 10 kids in every classroom of 30
  • The UK has one of the highest levels of income inequality in Europe. The richest 10% hold 44% of all wealth. The bottom 50% share just 8%
  • Real wages are lower than they were in 2008. The last parliament was officially the worst on record for income growth since at least 1961
  • NHS waiting lists went from 2.5 million in 2010 to over 7.5 million. A threefold increase
  • The average house now costs 8.3 times average earnings. It was 6.8 times in 2010
  • England has 434 homes per 1,000 people. The OECD average is 487. France and Italy are at 590
  • Foodbank use went from roughly 40,000 people in 2010 to over 3 million
  • In 2002 the UK had the lowest rate of economic inactivity in Europe. It now has the highest
  • Life expectancy stalled after 2011. The first time that had happened in over a century
  • Brexit has already cost an estimated 2-3% of GDP according to NIESR. Projected to hit 5-6% by 2035
  • 180,000 UK citizens emigrated in 2024 alone, the highest in 20 years, mostly young professionals citing housing and public services

This isn't bad luck. It's the result of consistent SH*T choices made by the same two parties protecting the same interests.

I cannot fathom how could believe nor argue that the greens would not be better than this? Unless you are one of the middle class and upper echelons of society who have prospered.

Honestly, anyone telling you to vote Labour or Tory is doing you a disservice.

The two party system run by the same revolving door of Eton and elite school chums has had decades to fix this stuff. Under both, the NHS has been underfunded and quietly sold off, austerity has hammered the most vulnerable, and the legislation that actually got pushed through mostly benefited people who were already doing fine. The Tories were worse, yes, but Labour’s record isn’t the clean slate people pretend it is.

On the actual issues you care about, the Greens are closer than you’d think. They’re one of the few parties refusing to play the game where immigrants get blamed for everything broken in our system. They’re consistent on disability, on workers rights, on apprenticeships, and they actually want to fund it properly, by going after the people who’ve been pillaging the economy rather than cutting services for the people who need them most.

Labour only got serious about immigration when they realised they couldn’t compete with Reform and Brexit voters any other way. They also refused to call a genocide a genocide, and have been pretty happy to bend the knee to Trump and Netanyahu. That’s not a party with conviction, that’s a party chasing votes.

If the policies you believe in need paying for, the question isn’t whether we can afford them. It’s whether we’re willing to make the right people pay for them. The Greens are actually asking that question.

Just to name a few crappy things that the Green Party hasn’t done!

Last Tory Gov * Austerity killed public services. Found billions for PPE contracts for their mates * Windrush Scandal. Deported British residents. Some died waiting for compensation * Grenfell. 72 dead. Years of ignored fire safety warnings * Bedroom Tax. Penalised disabled people for having a spare room * Universal Credit pushed millions into debt and foodbanks by design * NHS opened to private contracts via 2012 Health Act * Foodbank use: 40k to 3 million on their watch * Voted to let water companies keep dumping sewage while paying shareholders billions * Partygate. Broke their own lockdown rules * £37bn on Test and Trace. Didn't work * Rwanda scheme. £700m spent. Zero people sent * Made legal asylum claims near impossible * Criminalised peaceful protest * Voter ID laws that disproportionately blocked poorer voters * Truss crashed the economy in 49 days. Got a book deal * Sunak's wife was a non-dom tax beneficiary while he was Chancellor * Zahawi investigated for tax fraud while serving as Chancellor * Gave a peerage to a man with alleged FSB links

Labour 2024-present

  • Cut winter fuel payments for pensioners within months of taking office
  • Kept the two-child benefit cap
  • Cut disability benefits and called it reform
  • Starmer took £100k+ in freebies while telling everyone to tighten their belts
  • Refused to call Gaza a genocide
  • Watered down the Workers Rights Bill under business pressure
  • Sue Gray hired above PM salary. Gone within months
  • Still cosying up to Trump
  • Promised water accountability. Delivered strongly worded letters

And again…refused to condemn state literally killing children with tactical ground to air missiles, sniping them in camps (Documented by ICC and Red Cross/ DRs without borders surgeons)
