Just reading your material over 15 or 16 years, you never struck me as a Greens kind of guy.
As an aside, once you remove the 2 major parties plus the 3rd wheel (used to be the Democrats, now the Greens) there isn't really all that much left. I think 2 major parties plus very little else is an appalling state of affairs. There's very little genuine choice. Much better IMO the way it is in some European countries where 5 or so parties get decent votes and hold a good amount of power. The situation in the US is worse.
I can't comment for all nations but in Greece you end up with 3 or 4 representations of the same stuff anyway, and see people changing parties accordingly.
Kke were far left, pasok moderately left and over the years its not uncommon for them to alternate leaving people more capable of being hoodwinked into voting for the wrong party because reps change parties more frequently and some may not notice.
Politics is broken more because they provide people the illusion of choice then maintain the status quo, and the rulers are far too disconnected from the true lifestyle of Joe average. I wonder how these lockdowns would occur in situations where leaders had young children and not a device for each one to use for home schooling in an equation where IT hardware wasn't easy to come by and technology is a luxury purchase?
My sister has 3 kids in primary school and luckily for her I was able to repurpose some items marked for disposal and give her access two laptops she could use for them else they were dividing up 2 computers among 5 people to use for home schooling and working from home.
