  "textContent": "**This is edition 2026/048 of the _Ten@10_ newsletter.**\n\nHi all,\n\nThis is the Ten@10, where I collate and summarise ten news items you generally won't see in the mainstream media.\n\nEnjoy!\n\n* * *\n\n## 1. Greens Who Will Be Missed.\n\nChris Trotter\n\n  * 🎭 Compares the Green Party’s candidate list reshuffle to  _“a little list”_ from  _The Mikado_ , suggesting some MPs are being quietly sidelined\n  * 📉 Highlights the demotion of three sitting MPs — Mike Davidson, Scott Willis, and Steve Abel — noting all are men and implying gender may be a factor\n  * 👨‍⚖️ Argues Mike Davidson’s short tenure shouldn’t justify his drop, as new MPs typically become effective within months\n  * ⚖️ Suggests replacing experienced MPs with newcomers (like Tania Waikato) risks weakening parliamentary effectiveness\n  * 🌿 Criticises Scott Willis’s demotion despite his background in green energy and rural environmental values\n  * 🌳 Calls Steve Abel’s demotion especially puzzling given his strong environmental activism and alignment with core Green ideals\n  * 🧠 Attributes the reshuffle partly to identity-focused politics (“you’ve got to see it to be it”), prioritising representation of marginalised groups\n  * 📢 Describes the Greens’ approach as “performative politics,” focused on visibility and symbolic gestures rather than legislative outcomes\n  * 🧣 Uses examples like MPs wearing keffiyehs to argue Parliament is being turned into a मंच for political theatre\n  * ⚠️ Warns that excessive performative politics risks backlash from parliamentary rules and institutions\n  * 📜 Emphasises Parliament’s primary role is lawmaking, not symbolic activism or social signalling\n  * 🧩 Argues diversity is valuable only if it contributes to effective legislation and policy development\n  * 🤝 Points to former co-leader James Shaw as evidence that pragmatic cooperation across parties yields real results\n  * 🚫 Suggests Shaw faced internal resistance for prioritising outcomes over ideological purity\n  * 🐱 Concludes the Greens should prioritise competent, pragmatic MPs (like Davidson, Willis, Abel) who can deliver results, regardless of identity\n  * 📝 Final message: sidelining experienced legislators in favour of performative representation risks weakening the party’s effectiveness and impact\n\n\n\nRead More\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
