      “The poll puts Reform in the lead, on 32%, while the Greens are at 17%, up two points on the firm’s last study.”

      These results were from the Find Out Now survey, which is pretty meaningless regardless of whether you’re for Reform or Greens.

      Some projection is giving Greens more MPs than Labour. Labour voters need to vote for other left of center parties to keep reform out.

      Looking to the greens as an answer to reform is going to end in massive disappointment. Once you drill into their manifesto it’s the rival of Reform for bad ideas.

      Well, Labour supporters kept telling us lefties to hold our noses and vote for them to keep the Tories out. Will they do the same and vote green to keep reform out now?

      We’ve got four more years for Labour voters to swallow the fact that they may be the ones splitting the vote this time if they vote Labour.

      For me, NATO membership scepticism and nuclear disarmament are complete red lines. I could get over some of the NIMBYism because frankly that’s what we already have. But any politician who watches World Events over the 5 years and thinks “we should be more dependent on other countries not attacking us, or others coming to our rescue” is huffing something wicked strong.

      It will be a repeat of the Corbyn situation. Once the greens start growing and the media start putting the spotlight on them specially their policies and politicians you will see that anti “socialist” coalition of wealthy lib-dem, Tories and Blue labour flocking to Reform to maintain the economic status quo.

      If there was an election tomorrow, and only Green Party voters could vote, polls show he would win a landslide!

      Helping hand things to the BNP would certainly make for a significant section on his Wikipedia page come the next election.

      Weird damn time in politics isn’t it? 

      Guess we’ll have a battle of the extremes come next election if neither of them cock it up too badly. It’ll be all about what’s more pressing the state of immigration or the economy and how badly people want a change. 

      It’ll be a warzone on social media between them, both parties understanding the internet is key to influencing younger voters. 

      Be an interesting decade if nothing else, may be a bit of a downer but I hope America losing it’s shit after it’s next election cools are one down a touch to avoid…we’ll all that.

      It’s going to be hilarious when they get 4 MPs and cost scores of Labour and Lib Dem MPs their seats by splitting the vote

      The Greens seem to be the only party at the moment who actually have a positive platform, and aren’t just insisting we need to whine about the immigrants or the Muslims or the trans people or whatever other *out group* we’re supposed to scapegoat today. No wonder that’s appealing to people who actually want this country to improve.

      I could have never imagined even a decade ago people would be so sick of career politicians that the two main parties in a two party system are polling 3rd and 4th.

      You’d hope this would be a wake-up call for mainstream politics, but I’m fairly confident in my prediction that exactly nothing will change until they both actually get wiped out in an election.

      Honestly I really feel like this just shows the susceptibility of the nation to social media and populist movements, seeing Greens and Reform get so popular.

      It’s a shame Greens don’t have a little more nuance and common sense of some of their policies but it’s good to see support growing for a party that aren’t about career politicians looking for power or other corrupt sorts looking for power but seemingly something a little more about what they actually believe in.

      Everything I see and read about the Greens does not promote progressive politics. They have moved into another populist party accepting anyone. All their recent councillor deflection are failed Labour Councillors who are being deselected by the Labour Party and want to remain on the gravy train. The Greens are also becoming very socially conservative and their growing membership in this part of London are very socially conservative. The Greens have said nothing about how the will actual tackle the real problems of this country. Apart from campaign to block anything positive.
