If I lived in Gorton & Denton, I would be voting Green as the best option to stop the far right and their misogyny.

My country is the world, my religion is to do good. Thomas Paine, Philosopher.
One can’t help but wonder what Thomas Paine – the American Founding Father who fought for liberty, democracy, and the separation of church and state – would make of today’s United States, with authoritarianism on the rise and Christian nationalism increasingly assertive.

Who are the far-right?
When I speak about ‘the far right’ I mean the organised far-right, the parties, the politicians & the official spokespeople. It can also include “influencers” & other grifters. Making money from selling hate is a common theme.

My wish for 2026 is for the people of Cymru to do electorally what the good miners & their political supporters did in Tonypandy in the Rhondda, ninety years ago. They sent the far-right packing at the Battle of De Winton Field (June 1936).
Let’s do it again.
Blwyddyn newydd dda i bawb.

There’s a huge opportunity for communities here, with the right policies:
“This year, renewables surpassed coal as a source of electricity worldwide, & solar & wind energy grew fast enough to cover the entire increase in global electricity use from January to June”

You seem to be talking about party politics. Politics is much, much bigger than that. And more accessible.

Politics doesn’t organise itself.
It can’t be left to others.
Let’s not leave politics to political parties?
If you care, get politically active in 2026.
