    what a huge breath of fresh air - I'm so pleased to see this sort of communication back in British politics again, it's what we really need to be hearing. He communicates it all so clearly and cleanly

    Great to see the surge in support for the Greens under Zack. I just watched his interview with Piers Mor(g)an and found it so refreshing to watch someone being prepared to stand up for their beliefs a

  • I'm really liking what I've seen and heard from Zack's direction so far and I hope he can get himself out there enough to become somewhat of a "personality" to be big enough to counteract Reform and t

That's exactly why I despise Pierced Organ so much. Love how Zack totally didn't back down to even show any signs of buckling there!

I just hope that this is leading to something. This is wild and something I never thought would be possible!

It's so nice just having that little bit of hope there for us all. Truly! They're not a perfect party by any means, but they're definitely the best choice out there rn and honestly, there will never be a "perfect party".

I really hope this momentum lasts long enough to get the Greens substantial support come election time. The papers and press are trying to bury him, so I know he's the perfect choice!

Problem is the electoral system!

It’ll just mean a right winger gets in if you split the votes!

It’s nice to see England finally have a viable alternative to Labour for those on the left to join PC and SNP in providing a solid progressive platform in opposition to a centre right labour government

Coz the right wing vote isn’t split currently is it?

Depends what you call right wing, the current government is relatively right wing when you put all their policies on the floor. They believe you have to be right wing in government because they accept the narrative of the establishment.

The only two REAL right wing parties on paper or for the said establishment are the tories and reform party and they are just realigning now. So they aren’t really splitting each other up.

The only two real left wing parties are the Greens and a prospective Your Party but since the latter hasn’t had an electoral test yet it’s hard to tell whether they will be 1% of the vote of 12%. At any rate in a FPTP system it’ll not mean much depending on the spread of the vote.

Then there’s the Lib Dem’s who are on as many seats as they’ve had since 1922 but can they build an electoral coalition to be in government, I’m not so sure. There’s old Labour reformy seats in the old industrial north who just don’t have a history of voting Lib Dem and I can’t see them starting now. Then there’s the question of are they right or left and again no one knows. Most likely they are just an alternative to Labour who as I said above are generally pro establishment centre righters. When Labour are in government they sit to their left when we have the tories they can play to the centre right.
