On current polls, the election next year will come down to the wire between the centre-left and centre-right blocs. In the election held during Zero Covid, Labour picked up an outright majority, but next election it will need the support of the Greens to even have a chance at reaching a majority.
The de-tealing of the Greens may see its electoral fortunes wane, losing votes to Labour (which doesn’t really matter, as the two still need each other to reach a majority), or to the right bloc (which could sink the centre left’s chances in the election).
If they de-teal and the centre-left bloc wins, then we may see marginally more progressive social and climate policy. Either way, we’ll see stronger rhetoric.
Potentially the Green Party becoming less teal.
