INFORMATION 
FYI Questions from Ethan at ZB were:
What do you think of Tory rejoining the Green Party
Always was her values so glad to see her back
Why do you think she's rejoined the Party? Why now?
I think she just let it lapse. I've always seen her championing green values so good to see her
coming back.
What's it like having a Green mayor?
She's great, uses consensus decision making etc. champions people and the planet
Do you think Tory is a good mayor?
Ibid
Do you think she's done a good job of bringing the council together?
Ibid
So you're happy to have her back in the party?
