From my own impression as a member of the Green Party for a while when living in London, the members I crossed paths were incredibly nice people (though in my view quite naive in their expectations on other people, though me having been in the Finance Industry for many years whilst living in the UK - before, during and after the 2008 Crash - I was probably quite cynical in the expectations I had for the average person in Britain).
That said, I do remember one guy from the party leadership I crossed paths with during an Introduction To The Green Party meeting in London which just had this weird vibe about him and didn’t at all felt like the same kind of person as the rest.
Keep in mind that the UK authorities kept Green Party people under surveillance (as proven at least with regards to one Green Party MEP) and in general they infiltrated Ecological movements (there’s a well known case of a woman who had a child from one such person who turned out to be an undercover police officer) so I wouldn’t at all be surprised if the party was infiltrated by security forces types and, Britain being as Britain is (seriously authoritarian, though all done in a sneaky posh way, so the Jackboot is “just following the rules” whilst the Stasi is the GCHQ + Scotland Yard digital surveillance plus the insane amount of cameras in the place and stuff like feeding everybody’s healthcare records to Palantir) it would surprise me not at all if they’re infiltrating and surveilling like crazy the political parties that the local big parties deem “extreme left” (an Britain’s Overtoon Window is seriously right-shifted, far to the right of the rest of Europe and close to or even more to the Right than the US were the “left” mainstream party isn’t actually arresting anti-Genocide demonstrators as terrorist supporters) and the Green Party is by far the largest of them and the one most likely to eventually surpass Labour in votes.
I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that the extremely well established and entrenched powers in Britain (“extremely” when compared to other countries in Europe I lived in) will do whatever it takes to stop genuine Democracy from working (in a country, which, by the way, already has the same anti-Democratic First Past The Post system as the US which gives absolute majorities to parties getting just 30% of the vote, which is the worst in Europe) and hence to stop the rise of parties such as the Green Party in response to Labour shifting so far to the Right and to Autoritarianism that they’re arresting anti-Genocide demonstrators as literally and according to the Law “Terrorist Supporters”.
