Current Affairs The General Election

[JimmyJeffers]

He did. He was asked where 100 million trees a year, (his target) would be planted. He said farms, our new national parks, and open spaces. Sommet like that, and the 100 million might be wrong.

Point I am making is that in an election, Green Stuff isnt really a vote decider. If it really floats your boat above everything, Greens it is. For the other 98% of folk, knowing your party is arsed about it should slake your appetite.

No longer true. Think you are underestimating the Influence of campaigns by Attenborough etc. Plus, many business are now clambering over each other to try and prove that they are the most environmentally friendly. They know it’s good PR.

‘We have also seen similar trends in the importance of the environment. In the lead up to the 2017 general election, only 8% of the British public considered it one of the top three important issues, placing it 26 percentage points behind the economy. Crucially, the environment is now tied with the economy as Britain’s fourth most important issue, with 25% of Brits placing it in one of their top three.’

Lets all head forward to oblivion then....why is it "pointless?" Life in general cannot be separated from what we are doing to the planet.

That is the thing though; people separate "green stuff" out from "life in general" and then wonder why their kid has asthma.

Completely missing the point I am obviously making terribly.

In the context of a general election, having a leaders debate about something everyone but a nut agrees on, is pointless. And thats why I couldnt get why Johnson didnt do it. Zero risk.

Because he's unrelateable and so they're trying not to have him do any unscripted media appearances on account of him being a complete whopper.

Because his party are not interested in "green issues" . And he would just parrot the Brexit mantra and be found out as the bumbling, toxic twunt that he is....(awaits "But Corbyn is the......insert various media lies here....responses)

Not on this topic, they'd have piled on him relentlessly.

And 2% will actually vote for Green. Of course its important, but imo, not a deciding factor

"By getting Brexit done British trees free from the regulations of our EU overlords will boost numbers and cut down Co2 in the atmosphere."

An affable debate on something we all agree on more and more - as polling and media attention are showing

The only headline is Johnson’s no show
