... heard the same sentiments expressed towards Labour with its current leadership, (though I'm sure we can work with many of its admirable back benchers and, in a coalition situation, their support could prove crucial even if they have to defy the Labour whip to give it).

... with the grace of a bent landlord turning up on rent day - is another failure in tone and only hardens many.

I've seen talk of tactical voting and electoral cooperation with the LibDems, the SNP, Plaid Cymru, and YP - if it gets its act together and tones it down a bit - but I've rarely...

... appears to want to replace Labour, and uncoded messages about showing such members the door and shaking off the fleas have added insult to discontent.

The way Labour now approaches those it effectively kicked out with the hauteur of entitlement - all your votes belong to us, hand 'em over...

Greens not so much when it comes to Labour, studies have been done on this.

They only confirm what common sense tells us anyway. There has been a one-way flow from Labour to the Greens in terms of membership. Those on the left feel abandoned by the party given it's now swung so far right that it...

Nice thread. She'd get my backing.

You mean Green Party members?

Or do you mean those who believe that story?

There is a term for those who believe it. They're called 'numpties'. 😏

Not really. I'm a Green Party member hoping we can work with the SNP, Plaid Cymru, Your Party (if they can sort themselves out), and even the LibDems.

My guess is that not many of the negative votes will have come from any of those parties' supporters.

TERFs?

Weirdest bunch of feminists I've ever seen.

So on top of everything else, they're giving feminists a bad name.

I thought all Americans were clued into the wear-a-maple-leaf-pin-when-visiting-Europe trick.

Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…

Great game!

Can I play?

Um...

Pope Sylvester II understood agrostology much better than he understood the spark plugs of a Routemaster double-decker bus.

I love these games. 🤗

Your turn again.

Alba party to wind up and not contest Scottish election Pro-independence party formed by Alex Salmond in 2021 had suffered membership fall and financial crisis

Damn.

That means the next English refugee crisis will be Scottish transphobes flooding across the border.

Whenever I encountered an Alba supporter on Facebook, all they could do was bang on with their transphobic conspiracy theories.

Beyond an independent Scotland dedicated to transphobia, what did it ever stand for?

Or a scout for the Venusian invasion force. I've yet to see anyone rule that out.

Why are so many denying that he is the Messiah?

After all, I've yet to hear anyone proclaim that he is.

parties of the right's supporters.

As far as I can tell, the most resentful towards the Greens are Labour supporters, (but then they have the sulky negativity of all Billy No-Mates types when it comes to politics).

Add to them the Tories and Reform voters, and I reckon that accounts for it.

Essentially, then, it's the three...

It's SOOOO unfair when all Starmer has ever shown towards Polanski is peace, love and understanding. 😭

Why are the Greens so CRUEL??? 😔

... surpassed the two main parties in a few polls now.

It would be better if we had PR, but our current PM seems set against it, (though he said he was for it when he won the Labour leadership).

I don't know if you're in Canada or the USA, but if the USA, though our own FPTP system is useless, there is at least a chance of breaking through.

Indeed, our front-running party in polling isn't one of the two traditional parties even as we speak.

The Greens are surging and have themselves...

No problem. I was writing mine as you were writing yours. 🤭

Well, they do, but only if there's a European-based security framework there to take its place, otherwise we stay in NATO.

It's a mainstream debate across Europe now thanks to the Orange [insert derogatory noun here].

You don't even know what the policy is, do you?

And now you've been called out for that, you've changed the topic completely claiming that, instead, was your point, when it wasn't.

And if I answer that, you'll do it again, no doubt.

No sincerity here at all.

What are his views on NATO, Simon?

We're just stuck on what relevance you think it has to the post.

Don't you have a nice picture of a kitten or something if you're going to go off-topic?

I like kittens. They're cute. 🥰

Polls show Britons oppose US use of UK bases against Iran Only 28 percent of the British public support US military action against Iran

Incredibly poor equally from most of the UK population, then.

He's only fronting for the manifesto which is still Green Party policy and which the IFS gave a pass to for being comprehensive and plausible, only questioning the optimisim of some of the outcomes.
