I agree heavily with this sentiment, with a possible addendum – I imagine it could still be possible to have an issue-based coalition that attempts to lobby parties but is not seen as endorsing any parties specifically. In this sense, you could still attempt to lobby Reform as a single-issue coalition, although this strategy might be more aggressive/ gain less traction than simply tacking onto Your Party which is generally more value-aligned.
Thanks Zuzana! I'm going to have a think about whether there can be a more concerted effort for the podcast idea.
I take your point about the international situation potentially making interventions more difficult. To be honest, I don't really see animal welfare being a headline political cause – I imagine it's more likely that it will be more successful if solutions are sought through manifesto small-print/ technocratic solutions (which may actually be better for avoiding the controversy/ polarisation that might come with this animal welfare as a more central manifesto position). In this sense, I'd hope that the chaotic international situation wouldn't be too much of a barrier.
Hope to see you at the mass lobby day!
