    Famously they’ve been very successful where come from - Sheffield - but have absolutely nothing to put to their name following a long-reigning green party mayor of the city … other than some postulating and participstion in reality shows.

    (Actually i would credit the green party’s success here with the delay to Sheffield getting an improved metro system, which is now only going ahead under a labour-led Combined authority for the entire county.)

    He held a, what Wikipedia calls, ceremonial post for one year? The Greens also only had 8 councillors and Labour a majority, so this criticism feels very misplaced.

      Weird, they made such a big thing about it (because he’s a minority i guess), felt like living under a propoganda regime. I might be mixing it up because he continued to hold other positions such as MEP. My apologies.
