Great idea! But I see the greens have decided to run on more "Pie in the sky" bullshit policies. Dont get me wrong, im not dumping on trying to do the right thing which this arguably is. But its yet another promise thats virtually impossible to deliver on that makes people think twice about voting greens.
Remember that time they were gonna make it so you could swim in the yarra river?
Why is it virtually impossible to deliver on? Higher education has been free in the past, right?
it has yeah. But is this something thats going to move the needle for the majority of voters? The only people who care about this are young people, or people with ethics. And hate to say it but thats a lot shorter list than the greens seam to think it is.
They've gotta run a realistic platform, secure some more seats and deliver on some stuff. Bit like Trump coming out and saying "we are gonna make warp drive happen". He knows he cant deliver. We know it too, and nothing in his past makes you think any different. Same deal with the greens here. over promise under deliver doesn't work in politics.
That's exactly what you're doing.
Agreed. They need to get back to reality if they want to pick up votes at the next election.
It continues their recent trend of being a party overwhelmingly focused on securing the votes of young people above all else.
