Would it make sense for the party to run their own server which only has official accounts?

Yes you are right, but we have asked numerous times when they will get on the and they did mention that they did a test server internally, but gave a vague response of "we decided not to take things further" which is basically saying we won't get enough engagement. Or they say "they have a small team" but then contradict themselves by joining bluesky.

Even when one applies for a job or offers to help volenterally, they will still ignore or find a reason not to.

It's really easy to run your own server if you use a managed hosting service such as @mastohost or @Cloud68 or @fedihost or many others. They do all the techy stuff, you just pay a small monthly fee that includes everything.

If they don't want their own server and don't have time for more platforms, there are social media services which let organisations post to many platforms at once including Mastodon:

buffer.com/mastodon
publer.com

Oh you're 100% right. But it's like pulling teeth.

We have mentioned numerous times on such options and that Mastodon is widely supported on social media scheduling tools such as buffer which we use.

But national greens 1, haven't told anyone what tools they use, so it's much harder for us to direct them and 2 when we have asked we get excuses instead action.

You can't lead a horse to water and make it drink.
