The Green Party

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I’d vote for them under a more equitable voting system. Complete waste of time under the current one, at least in south Warwickshire.

Nearest Green MP to me in North Herefordshire which is essentially Ledbury and Leominster, the former of which represents the core of their support in that constituency, I’d say. Can see them slowly growing their representation in Parliament over the course of the next couple of general elections as more of these enclaves pop up, but there will be a ceiling.

Maybe some sort of environmental catastrophe might change the dynamics, but sadly human nature isn’t quite so malleable.

Wholeheartedly agree. Would be nice to see credible alternatives outside of the traditional big two. Medium term, I'd lean towards Green or Lib Dem if Labour don't get their act together. If only to test the waters.

Withered on the vine.

That's a nickname for my wanking hand.

Vote for them anyhow they need as many numbers as possible. Your one vote ain't gonna decide what MP you get.

It will make you feel better as well, i can guarantee that:-)

Bloody hell, I wanted a more savvy leadership, let's see if he can put us more on the front foot without diluting the message.

I wanted a leader who didn't back down to bullshit. Labour comms are already tweeting about him; they must be worried.

The BBC have led with "Former Actor Zack Polanski", we'll ignore the fact he was previously a deputy leader and is a member of the London Assembly, or the size of the mandate he got eh ? Twats.

Well he's got two years to make an impact so let's see if he can shake things up a bit, fingers crossed.

It's been changed a lot then - the website has all those points, with only deputy leader in the same phrase as former actor; the rest are before the actor reference.

Zack Polanski elected leader of the Green Party

The London Assembly member beat Green MPs Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns by a landslide.

BBC and Sky fawning over the result...

Oh wait, he's not frog faced fascist is he so it's just a byline in their reporting.

I wouldn't be too offended - It's more interesting than "politician becomes leader of political party".

Having an interesting background is probably a bonus.

If I was a GP HQ I'd market that as a positive.

Frame him as the UK Zelensky.

 

[bluethrunthru]

He is a gay vegan so the r/w press will have plenty to attack him with there anyway

It has been changed a lot. At the time I posted it was the top story and the headline I mentioned was verbatim.

You and @bluenova probably have a point. I suspect the intention was to downplay his seriousness, but it's possibly worth leaning into.

 

[bluethrunthru]

imagine being so stupid to phone a national radio station and explain to a gay man that Polanski's biggest negative is that he is a gay man

 

[johnny crossan]

Zack is an entertaining fellow but Jezzer won't put up with him for long, probably because he gives the impression the persecution of transpeople is more important than genocide in Gaza.

The Trump brigade ffs!

Absolutely disgusting, unnatural, degenerate way to live your life though. Makes my stomach churn thinking about it.

 

[Don Karleone]

I hope Zack is paying attention. Do not give these bastards an inch.
