This is going to sound strange - because the perception is that The Greens are a radical leftist activist party - but they could do more to build grass roots campaigns, bring together progressive coalitions and be more of a popular front for radical social change. I don't think this would harm their electoral support and could well see it increase. Their current, and possibly only strategy, of being an electoralist party may well have plateaued.

Just one example off the top of my head. While the Greens were championing housing reforms in federal parliament were they also arguing for and helping to organise mass popular protests and movements on the streets? Campaigns that could bring together workers and families from across the political divide to put even more political pressure on Labor? I didn't see it. I know the public housing campaign in Sydney didn't see it.

I don't think much will change for The Greens right now. The federal election results are not as big a deal for them as pundits are making out. I think The Greens know this and will bide their time and change nothing. Which will be a massive waste of an opportunity to reorient to the grass roots coalition building that The Greens formed out of.
