Anecdotally lots of young people (who are mostly green voters) either missed registration or voting because there wasn’t enough awareness. General elections are a much bigger deal so the results will likely be different. Another change will probably be that with an increased number of green councillors there’s a better base to organise.

I think we can also get a lot more volunteers for the general election as a result and hopefully influence things more. It’s also exam season for a lot of students (who are like half the volunteer force at any given time) so the greens weren’t able to really exert their full influence.

i.e. there’s hope yet, go engage with the real world and bring others with you instead of inhabiting the manufactured reality of the corporatised internet
