The only vote I give will be for the Greens.
Did the Greens join Star Fleet?
Well it’s early doors so makes sense they’re wearing command colours
I wish I could join Star Fleet. I want off this fucking planet.
Excellent news. Green and pleasant.
It’s reassuring that somewhere, there’s actually some sense in the world.
I sincerely hope it’s the beginning of a trend.
Fuck Farage, fuck the Reform party, and fuck anyone who votes for them with a wire brush
You love to see it.
Reform UK refused to comment when approached at the count.
The salt! Lmao
This is a good demonstration that voters aren’t all split along Labour Vs Conservative lines (increasingly harder to be, since they’re moving closer and closer together). It surely suggests that the electorate for his ward care about Environmental and migration issues equally - so either Farage is cocking up the running of the Reform party (he is) or the climate has become more important than migration for these people (also plausible)
It’s more because the Green party got a leader who very publicly talks about most, if not all of society’s problems are caused by the wealthy. His name is Zack Polanski, he is a bit like a British version of Zoran Mamdani. Since he became party leader the Green party has gone up hugely in the polls.
I do wonder how long that will last. His interesting past is a bit of an achilles heel, which he demonstrated by chickening out of his HIGNFY appearance at the last minute, despite that show having a proven track record of raising politicians’ profiles.
If he were to become perceived as a threat, I’m sure dirt would hit the fans and the tabloid front pages.
He didn’t appear on HIGNFY because he went on Question Time to debate immigration instead. Could be a convenient excuse, but I do personal believe him.
He’d get a much bigger audience on HIGNFY, so I’d question his thinking if true. Or perhaps he realised there was zero chance HIGNFY would miss the opportunity to play the boob clip.
His thinking, at least what he said publicly, is that he felt it was more important to go on QT to defend migrants. IRRC, he also said at the time he’d be going on HIGNFY in 2026.
I wouldn’t get too excited as there’s 40 Reform councillors in Derbyshire:

the small wins though !!! ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ
I don’t find the switch that odd. The Conservatives and Labour have shown that they are out of touch with the problems people are facing day to day.
Reform gain support by paying lip service to those issues. They then point the finger in the wrong direction as to the cause, using it as a way to drive they’re real agenda.
The greens are also addressing the problems people face, but proposing radical solutions from the other end of the spectrum.
So if you’re an ex-reform voter could go to a party that’s telling you your problems don’t exist. You go to the party that proposes a different solution.
