When Corbyn offered his resignation as Labour leader in Dec 2019, First thing i said to my partner was, " if Labour elect Starmer as leader, watch the Green vote double over the next couple of years", and looking at results, they at least doubled and in places trebled their votes.
The Greens are a decent left wing party, with on the whole good policies.
I saw part of an interview with joint leader Jon Bartley yesterday, and he was explaining, the Green Party is a Socialist party, not just a one issue party with a whole range of policies.
My only criticism of the Greens is the name....it conjures up visions of hippy tree huggers etc.
They should change the name IMO...I'll think of a few names, and i might email them.
One thing is for sure, under plank Starmer, Labour is f*cked. What happened yesterday will get worse as the next 18 months pass by.
Who is this ‘Green Party’? Is it the elephant’s graveyard for all the loony left-wingers who still do not understand that anti-semitism beliefs are wrong?
Most 'anti semitism has come from the extreme right, over many years, and nowdays theres a debate over what actually constitutes anti semitism.
Carrying a Palestinian flag in my opinion isnt anti semitic, but there are those who say it is.
Islamophobia is just as great a wrong as anti semitism, but in the hierarchy of racism, its way behind.
It depends what context you carry or display a Palestinian flag. If you do it in front of Jewish people now with a war on it could be deemed offensive and incitement .
Like carrying a pigs carcass by a Mosque during prayer time.

No it couldn't.
Palestine is not Hamas.
Nevertheless, still sensitive in the circumstances?
A pig is food and someone’s hog roast, pig carrier not Islamaphobic?

Strange that being vegan is kind of equated to living in a cave in Wales.
Polanski's a Lib Dem anyway, only jumped ship after he wasn't selected as a prospective MP.
I wasn't equating anything, the geezer lives off grid in Wales (apparently)
On the WhatsApp group we geolocated him down to within the vicinity of Hay-on-Wye. We sent out one of the mods on a reconnaissance mission, and there's currently a grainy photo circulating of a bloke in his 50s, holding up the bar in the Three Tuns pub, tragically trying to chat up the barmaids. Pretty sure that's him.

Way behind? Tell that to the victims of 07.07, the Paris outrages, London Bridge, Borough Market and 9/11.
