Dear oh dear. With all that’s happening in the US Democratic party just now, one might have thought it would be near enough impossible for politicians elsewhere to catch the eye of the media. Well, fascinatingly, the Green party has defied all odds. The eco-zealots have found themselves in the spotlight this afternoon after a series of rather, er, bizarre responses to the news that Joe Biden will not contest the next election.
After the US President announced he would be abandoning his re-election campaign on Sunday night, the Green party was quick off the mark with its press release – circulating it within an hour of the news so as not to disappoint those on the edge of their seats waiting to hear what the eco-activist reaction was. ‘Biden stepping down “a true sign of Leadership” say Greens’, roared the subject line, before co-leader Carla Denyer also took her tribute to Twitter.
