It is noticeable that the Green protest movement has been seriously worked on by the state. Much of this is the draconian infringements on the right to protest but it’s mixed with the mainstream media refusing to report on what climate protests occur combined with the state’s boosting of the Green Party as a vehicle for distracting protest. Those in comtrol would tolerate a handful of Green MPs and Green-led councils rather than hundreds of thousands on the streets involved in protest and direct action.
