Election Year or Fear!

[Geoff Parkstone]

Will be interesting to see Green v Reform outcome at local level. Having voted green at last few locals I find myself unable to support the latest incarnation of the Green party. It seems to have lost its sense of original purpose in the scramble to sweep up left wing voters seemingly abandoned by labour. Curiously similar to Reform sweeping up right wing voters abandoned by Tories.

Interesting…and slightly scary, GP.
I get why, with your perspective, you’re disassociating yourself from the Greens although, imo, Reform UK are much the more extreme and sinister.

Think what is unusual now is the fact that both Labour and the Tories are united in their unpopularity. They usually take it in turns. Obviously creates opportunity elsewhere but I hope people remember that most of these elections are about electing those who are capable of managing local resources. I hope they do…but I doubt it.
