We need to replace the concept of "heritage homes" with a Passivhaus revolution across the whole nation not just Scotland! If you want to address the cost of living we must drive down energy consumption, improve air quality in homes and the only way to do it is Ph!

But of course! It could've been a totally different story if the election had come three weeks after the budget! Anyone agree?

We just can't see it. The majority of voters in this country are so apathetic because no-ones coming up with ideas that they can relate to. Greens have got some BIG ideas but they don't have the means to get the messages across, hopefully that will change as policies mature.

I'mon a state pension as well, so I try to subscribe for free wherever I can, it's pretty widespread, you can see a lot of good stuff for free on Substack, I've made a point of following people Like Jason Hickel, Grace Blakey, Richard J Murphy.

You need to wise up on the fundamentals, (economy, degrowth, green transition) that convince the electorate that a socialism will not destroy their quality of life but enhance it, while mitigating the climate crisis. @ 77 I learn new stuff every day! My substack; substack.com/@davidxr/p-2...

MMT vs current Green Party economic policy
The GP are currently reviewing their Economic Policy, here’s some input from a Modern Monetary Theory POV.

DavidxRose @davidxrose.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
We must stick together & campaign on the BIG issues like Economic Policy development along modern monetary lines. Fiscal Referees championed by Sheridan Kates is a great leap forward! Jamie Driscoll's report Hostage Nation is bang on! Good stuff we need to SHOUT about! The fundamentals R hard work!
020
DavidxRose @davidxrose.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
There's no fear of me not engaging! I'm most interested in developing Fiscal Policy along the lines of Jamie Driscol and Sheridan Kates, I'm convinced we need to adopt radical positions along modern monetary lines, I very much agree with Jason Hickel's analysis on degrowth & eco socialism!

DavidxRose @davidxrose.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
I am a Green Party member, I was not consulted before the party that represents me posted this. As an atheist I can only see Zionism through that lens. LIKUD say they are God's chosen people & this gives them the right to the genocide. IMO God doesn't exist, so they can't be chosen. They're racists.

Who I have also been following for the last 3 yrs. Harnessing great communicators who are passionate about Eco Socialism has to be a priority, at the moment it's a three man band with Zack out front, but the media have it in for him, we need more respected voices to publicly consolidate GP policy.
010
DavidxRose @davidxrose.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
We need to nail down the full policy as a matter of urgency then gather all the helpful proponents of its approach & launch a major internal & public awareness programme explaining why we have adopted it & why it will work for the whole nation. I was very pleased to hear mention of Jason Hickel

DavidxRose @davidxrose.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
I think the idea of the Fiscal Referees is the missing link - especially the way R Murphy explains it from a theoretical rather than a practical standpoint. Combine the work done on the Hostage Nation report by Jamie Driscol and this work by the current EPG points us firmly in the direction of MMT.

DavidxRose @davidxrose.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
MMT may not be new, but it is pretty precise in its terms, I have produced an AI driven comparison between the current (old) policy as it stands and an MMT critique of it. You can find it here: substack.com/@davidxr/p-2...

Also, how does this tie in with Jamie Driscolls report Hostage Nation?

DavidxRose @davidxrose.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
I've been following Murphy for the best part of 10 yrs. Sheridan explains the whole thing BETTER than Murphy to be honest, & Keen is again, very technical but if we are to shift to radical eco socialism, which I yearn for, don't we need to get all Modern Moneterists together on a public platform?
111
DavidxRose @davidxrose.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
I've just watched this interview with Ed & Sheridan, also the more recent one with Helena. What we are hearing is a mechanism to adopt MMT, but without any reference to it or Richard J Murphy, Steve Keen or Stephanie Kelton - is there a strategic reason for this? Sheridan said this is all new stuff
110
DavidxRose @davidxrose.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
The establishment will fight to the death to accept it. It's why the GP to must whole heartedly adopt it, &d gather round all the MMT champions R Murphy, Steve Keen, Stephanie Kelton, as well as degrowth champions like Jason Hickel to create public awareness programmes to shift the Overton Window
010
DavidxRose @davidxrose.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Many thanks for this! I was beginning to think we (the GP) were moving away from the only way forard via a Modern Monetary sustainable future. We have a very narrow window to shift the Overton Window to a mass realisation that neo liberal capitalism is on a highway to hell. MMT makes absolute sense.

As an atheist I'm sure that the zionist argument that they are the chosen people is total nonsense, because if God doesn't exist (& I firmly believe that) then it couldn't choose them or anyone else for that matter. So I'm left with the only other conclusion to draw, that is Zionism IS Racism.
010
DavidxRose @davidxrose.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
In 1991 Israel blackmailed the UN under a false flag of "peace negotiations" which they then rejected & supercharged their Apartheid regime. And then some! Zionism IS Racism.

There's loads of stuff linked to MMT which R Murphy explains, equalising Capital gains with income tax, stop paying interest to banks on their reserves, taxing wealth not income for the richest, getting the taxes that we're owed by dodgers, reducing taxes on the lowest paid workers - all winners!

There's too much emphasis on present day issues & not enough on the radical policies we need to adopt if we are going to shift the Overton Window & convince a majority electorate. Next year's motions need to focus on a radical programme & take on the Spectator/Telegraph axis with utter commitment.

DavidxRose @davidxrose.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
Explain that full employment (job guarantee) & access to the resources required for the Green Grid, full net zero power, council house building, cold homes retrofitting & degrowth are all essential for a sustainable future for the next generations.

DavidxRose @davidxrose.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
We need more emphasise on the big Green Challenges we face & be ever more explicit about how only MMT plus major corporate tax reforms as well as a wealth tax are all essential to unlock the total Green Transition. Train our Neets & transitioning FF workers for the tasks ahead.

The rising tide of anti semitism is in the minds of the Daily Mail, Telegraph and Spectator readers & "Journalists" (I use that word with more than a hint of irony), it's not in the Green Party!

DavidxRose @davidxrose.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Surely there is no risk of replacement by FFs? There is an underlying threat to the environment by the proliferation of these so called mini nuclear sites. They're still in design development at who knows what cost, money that should be invested in upgrading the grid for total Green Renewable Energy
