Don't blame me: I'm one of the 1,843,124 people who voted Green. One of the people of Beorma and a bit sweary. Member of the Green Party but my views are all mine.

In my pursuit of @greenparty.org.uk history I've been reading the original PEOPLE party's Manifesto for Survival from 1974.
It already includes some familiar items like no whip, localism and UBI, which it calls the National Income.

It's hysterical: the Labour bots are out attempting to make out that voting Green is splitting the 'left' vote with... Labour. 😂
We might be Green but we're not green.

Honestly I think it's too soon to say suggested votes because I think the Greens at least will be happy to make pacts. I live in Ladywood constituency and the anti genocide vote was divided by an independent who is now facing trial for money laundering and that's how we got SM back.
I want her out!

We didn't elect an actor who did community theatre in prisons for nothing. 💪💚

So I'm afraid the answer is to take a flask and not patronise the chains.
And this isn't to be mumsy: capitalism is completely dependent on people spending money and not spending money, or spending money selectively, crashes it.
The lie was to apply this principle to the env't not capitalism.

The very first manifesto of the original PEOPLE party included defence, no whip and Universal Basic Income.
It's never just been the environment and, with no disrespect, all you've proved is you don't understand the difference between environmentalism and Green politics.

Because it's the vote most likely to get Labour out in the constituency.

For the love of any G*d you believe in, vote Green (it's the tactical vote) in Ladywood constituency in 2029.

You'll be so embarrassed when you find out about the Westminster system and the current government's huge majority.

Funny to think the electorate in the leadership election was only 64k, it seems so small and so long ago. 😂

Anyway, everyone has to vote Green, so that those 20,411 of us can tell generations yet to come that we did it. We voted for Zack Polanski. 💚
