I didn't realise the extent of this until I saw Judas and the Black Messiah then went away and researched it a bit more
Was really annoying though... Plaid won but the vast majority of the media were obsessed with interviewing the Reform candidate instead of the person who came 1st
Awwww I can feel chemistry coming out of my screen ๐Ÿ˜

Congratulations to you both ๐Ÿ’š

Zack Polanski, "Last year was a huge achievement for Bristol to get its first Green MP. Time to get Carla Denyer some company"

ZP is aiming to get more MPs, and rightly so. Good luck Greens!
I completely get why you're not interested, we have enough issues in the UK

Personally, I'm excited about Mamdani because it feels like a ripple that could start a wave.

From a strategy point of view I think a lot of Mamdani's messaging could be applied to the UK so we can learn from him
I'm no Tory but I think he gets some stuff right. For example I agree with him, it makes no sense to constantly shuffle government ministers around because they don't have time to properly learn their brief and make lasting changes
His book Politics on The edge is a real indictment of Westminster
Labour aren't really doing anything to actually challenge the far right, they just appease them

So the Greens are stepping up to the plate and it's refreshing

If the right wing media weren't spitting feathers you'd be doing something wrong

They're terrified of control slipping from their hands

And here it is, a doubling of membership in less than 2 months.
WELCOME EVERYONE!

Thats the effect the Politics of Hope can have.

LET'S KEEP GOING, LET'S KEEP GROWING.
๐Ÿšจ BREAKING ๐Ÿšจ

๐Ÿ“ˆ Since the election of our new leadership team, our membership has doubled, now sitting at more than 140,000.

And this is just the beginning: join.greenparty.org.uk
I agree with that although I think the Lib-Dems could pick up the Labour Right as well(maybe not Peter Mandelson ๐Ÿ˜œ)

Because they seem to hate the Greens

Then we could have a coalition government

Recent polls are saying a combined Lib-Dem+Green vote share would be around 30%

96 seats in the new Sennedd, so 49 needed for a majority.

It could be a Labour/Plaid majority gov't without needing Greens or Lib Dems?

Either way, the right is less likely to win this election than the left, and that's because of a better, newly introduced system of PR and a larger chamber ๐Ÿ‘
