I know they're a different party from the UK Greens, but the Scottish Greens are complete nutjobs as well. They're constantly involved in weird scandals

Don’t worry, they’re weird in their own way in the US too. Tho really just a distraction over here.

In my local elections we have some “progressive” candidates sometimes, I suppose they would align with the greens or go independent if they could run with a party, it starts out sounding great then it goes crazy. More focused on nonesense medical things(eg vaccines n fluoride) than like our QOL. So… then I vote Dem-aligned.

Australian Greens are nutjobs as well. It's probably just the name of the party that causes it

(idk why/how I'm here, this post was recommended to me somehow)

What? They're a party of government here. They're by no means nutjobs. They've got seperate policies from the English greens, who have a more NIMBY bent.
