The Labour Party had the highest party membership in Europe (including Belarus lol) under Corbyn.
The bloke has no appeal whatsoever to the majority in almost every seat in the UK parliament. Another waste of breath.
Some wild numbers for the Greens in recent days.
100,000 members for the first time in our history, a 55% increase since Polanski’s victory SIX weeks ago. We’re on track to beat the Tories’ 123,000 members by Christmas.
We also polled 15% for the first time in our history, while most pollsters put us above 10%, which didn’t even happen during the Theresa May omnishambles in 2019.
I have no idea how many councillors we’re going to win next year.
It’s so nice to not be politically homeless anymore! Finally a party that inspires and provides hope and not fear. A party that wants to focus on tackling the real minorities that are destroying our country (the mega rich). Im proud to be part of this new green wave đź’š
Honestly polanski is such a breath of fresh air, its weird to feel optimistic for once
Genuine question, how reliably do these membership numbers seem to translate to results? Be interested to see the correlation etc. Appreciate, a while to go to the next election.
Doesn’t matter how many members you have if you can’t sit their ass in parliament.

Some pretty impressive numbers in such a short period of time. It’s nice to hear an actual left-wing voice challenging the bullshit that Reform put out.
Ugh this is almost design to split the labour vote and bring in Reform.
I mean when I typed that out I didn’t mean it conspiracy wise but… Reading back, maybe
Just drop the utterly ridiculous stance on Nuclear Power and wanting to Nuclear Disarmament and they can become a real threat
I have to say, I certainly like the cut of his jib.
If they don’t change their stance on nuclear energy they will simply never be taken seriously. It’s absolutely mental that the “Green” party has some of the worst environmental policies in the country despite climate scientists worldwide preaching the necessity of nuclear energy for combatting climate change.
Drop Mothin Ali and wider Islamism + drop the suicidal stance on nuclear weapons and I will seriously consider voting Green seeing as my local candidate is a nice bloke
I have question. How does it work that every successful politician in the UK has such bad teeth? Is it the voters seeing such person and thinking “oh, they’re like me, missing 3 teeth, and having 5 crooked. I’ll vote for them”.
Are the Green party into homeopathy or not this week? I lose track.
Interesting to see the two largest parties self-destruct under terrible party leadership
Wasn’t it the same case with Geeza’s No Name Party ?
Sounds like anniyed leftists moved to “Green”.
I don’t find this guy charismatic in the slightest but people seem to love him.Â
Fair play I guess.Â
