I’m not local to Birmingham but where I live we have a desperate need for affordable housing and the Greens ran on a “no new housing, no exceptions” platform. They also opposed rollout of green energy solutions, probably to appease the NIMBY crowd.
My point is that at a local level the green party runs on platforms that will cause a lot of social problems that local authorities have to deal with and maybe in Birmingham they have some completely mental attachment to a local cause that is a red-line for Labour.
Lib Dems will do what they are told but arguably closer aligned to Tories.
In any case Labours best strategy is to sit back for a few months and watch reform and the independents self-destruct and see if Green and Lib Dem become more willing to compromise.
I’m suggesting labour should work with the greens and libdems since they are supposedly politically aligned.
Greens and LDs should work together like the only adults in the room and then invite labour into the fold. Maybe then they can get over themselves.
