Why is Aimee seen as a 'rising star' in the Greens and how has Aimee managed to gather so much power and position so quickly?
IMO. because ... trans.
That gave a foothold via a well funded, established cabal for media exposure that was very much "punching well above weight".
Which in turn raised her profile in the party. They may have run with it, or at least not discouraged it because they thought all publicity is good publicity and especially so if Super Woke,
It snowballed to more MSM exposure. The party rewarded AC with essentially unearned power/position to capitalise on the publicity generated. Which led to more MSM attention. And a higher than ever profile in the party.
And I'll lay money on AC not being the only young Woke Points being in that position for the same reasons. Not just in the Greens. And not just the obvious ones in Labour.
There are a lot of chickens coming home to roost in the not so distant future. All parties should take a long hard look at this dynamic and reassess their knee jerk reaction to a representative with Opression Olympics Ommph. Because instead of looking at them like a gift from the gods, they really should be regarding them as a box going suspiciously "tick tick tick".
You need people with convictions, hard won experience, life lessons learned in advance, loyalty to both party and country, and the ability to step back and shut the fuck up when it is the interests of your party/country to do so.
Even then you can get explosions. Cos... humans screw up.
But if the above list of attributes isn't applied to everybody, bar the truely expectional (in ability, not identity), politics is going to go even further down the tubes.
How is a party (of any stripe) supposed to genuinely represent the people when it takes such a Reality TV approach to selecting higher profile representatives for the people ?
Idiots. Do they think we are so stupid that we can't work out that if they can't run their own party effectively, efficiently, to a high standard, then there is no hope whatsoever that they can run the country..... other than into the ground.
