I think what you're saying is the reason why a lot of people don't vote Green- the strength of their ideas is not tested till they have the power to make change and the changes they are planning are big: will mean a lot of change.
The UK is not famous for implementing change and coping with it well.
My favorite three:
Giving all children a private school-style education.
Focusing on community. They have lots of ideas to support locals to work together, support each other, and be part of the community: I think this would improve everyone's enjoyment of life.
Wealth tax and not allowing (non-resident) foreigners to purchase any more property in the UK
-Removed-It's my summary that their policy amounts to providing children with the advantages normally given to children having a private education:
https://policy.greenparty.org.uk/policy/education/
I don't think any party has put as much thought into how the community should function as much as the Greens
Wealth tax on richest 1% and watertight windfall tax backdated to January would raise £75bn to help improve homes
Foreign investment in UK buildings is one of the reasons people on an average wage can't afford to buy and are struggling to rent.
-Removed-1) That's because you haven't seen the Green's plans. It's a whole new structure of spending. Obviously, there will be a need to recruit more teachers, that's the only way to meet the Green's objectives.
2) Based on seeing the policies of other parties. To be fair the Greens' is the one I have properly read, the others not so much. Have you read a policy from another party that focuses on the community to such an extent that they have multiple plans to strengthen it? Or were you referring to the £ from a wealth tax? - if is; it's lifted straight from the Green's policy site, so the calculation will have been from statistics they've used. I'm inclined to accept it rather than try to calculate the amount myself.
3) I don't think so. I know the stereotype of 'the rich' is that they got that way by holding on to it, but I don't accept that that's how they want to be. I think if people saw their money doing something real they'd be happy to see it go. For the most part anyway.
4) the reference is buying up buildings in London and leaving them empty. Investing for the sake of having them. You can read a bit about the difficulties with this here: https://www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/mayoral/mayors-plans-to-protect-london-from-putin-allies

Hey, on another note, looking at your profile you mentioned Rosenberg, first I ever heard of him.
Glad you turned me on to him, he is clearly one of the great ones!.
Sorry I don't know much about British politics though.
I am a musician and have a lot of tracks on soundcloud but I am only an instrumentalist not a singer, I serve the musical community best by NOT singing🙂
