A bit petulant then.

You are barking up the wrong tree

Re: The Green Party

Only one poll, but this one has the Greens above Labour and the Tories (and the Lib Dems etc). Reform still in a clear lead.

Re: The Green Party

I have some issues with the Green Party, I worry they might fall into the same trappings that end up with capital capitulating progressive causes through divisive identity politics, which is what has contributed so much to the rise of the nationalist right. However, with Corbyn's party being an utter trainwreck, I decided to leave that and join the Greens for now. The need for economic reform is urgent above all else, and anyone suggesting Farage is a positive force for economic reform is categorically and ontologically incorrect.

Greens targeting over 50 Labour seats - and on current polling would win 47 of them (including Starmer's).

findoutnow pump out limited fieldwork polls every few days using their database of people who signed up to win money, I don't know the ins and outs of their methodology but I am not convinced I would trust it.

Polling was in a bit of a spin after the 2024 failure, to the naked eye it looks like turnout being so low completely ruined their ability to predict although the later larger sample size MRPs did start to go against the idea that Labour was going to get >40% so potentially were picking something up.

It's even harder for the pollsters to predict for greens/libdems because their voter base is even more transient.

So much to hold him to account for, but his teeth aren't one of them.

Boris' hair, Trumps small hands though. That's more like it!

Re: The Green Party

This is quite unbelievable from Rachel Millward, Deputy Leader of The Green Party.

There has to be something that I’m missing here, surely?

This has been happening in Wales too, from the Vale to Llanelli. There's no proper public engagement with these decisions, and it just ends up creating friction and animosity in a world that's already on edge about this sort of thing. It's done in a very underhand and covert way, frequently against the wishes of the people. It's not that the migrants have even caused trouble, it's just so extremely underhanded and against the public consensus at the moment, and undermines further the relationship between citizenry and the people supposed to represent them. It's all in service to rich lobbyists who can benefit from cheap labour.

The UK is a nimbocracy. It's almost almost always the strongest voices in favour of stuff that also don't want it anywhere near them.

What on earth is community engagement going to achieve other than 'we like the idea, just not here'? They have identified a site that is appropriate to use as temporary accomodation and should use it.

The Greens have clearly been reading the same material the lib dems do on how to fence sit and play both sides.

Re: The Green Party

The Greens, we will all be freezing our nuts off if those deluded freaks get into power, probably ban gas boilers by 2030, only electric vehicles and shut all the airports….meanwhile Norways sovereign wealth fund from North Sea oil drilling makes them one of the richest governments in the world, the complete opposite to the total mess we currently endure……

Immigration is an issue the left is just not going to win on, and it's stubborn and politically suicidal to be so brazenly in favour of it. I would rather focus on economic issues where the left has a much stronger hand to play rather than downplaying the impact of immigration that actively benefits the ultra-capitalist class (although they win either way, whether the immigrants are scapegoated or not).

Based on this one (prominent) example, it looks that way.
