(And if this leads to complaints in n elections time that "the Greens are too centrist! We need to vote for $radicalparty for real change!", then that is what success looks like)

And when this bunch of losers don't win, they blame everybody else rather than admitting their own shortcomings. Then they buy another house.

We need the Greens to eat them from the left and make them irrelevant.

And there's no personal incentive to work hard for victory: safe seats and a list policy of protecting incumbents menas they'll get their $160K a year regardless.

So of course they don't fight. They don't need to. They've got theirs, and the rest of us can go to hell.

They may have once had) some goodwill, but there's not the burning urgency to Make Things Different. And so all they do is tinker round the edges, or disclaim even that.

They inspire no-one and please no-one.

(And yet, somehow, Labour not pulling their weight will mysteriously become the Greens' fault. Because being a status quo party means never having to admit your own failures)

Anyway, part of the problem is who Labour is now. The Greens are an activist party, who want Change. Labour is a status quo party, stuffed with status quo people who benefit from things mostly being the same. Their real interest is a job, not change.

They've had a decade of MPs salaries ($160K / year), they have housing portfolios which they want to increase in value; they're rich, so they don't want to be taxed; they don't use govt services, so they don't see their necessity.
