Business world has the phrase, turnover is vanity, profit is sanity, but cash is king
Perhaps politics should have something like, members are vanity, councillors are sanity, but MP’s are king
Why are the media giving green party so much airtime?!? They’ve only got 4 mps!!
Amazing and with only a fraction of the media attention reform got at this stage!
Are they not primarily splitting the left vote now making reform even stronger ?

Labour got voted in by not being the Tories then proceeded to behave like them so is it any wonder more people are looking for alternatives.
Of course Labours also loosing votes to Reform as well as Lib Dems/Greens.
But do they have the votes in the marginal constituencies, that’s all that counts under FPTP.
Amount of members is, if anything, negatively correlated with electoral success. Tories notoriously small number of members but the most successful electoral party in British history.
Don’t be a silly billy when you hear this news – easy to do.
To be fair im pretty sure the Tories never relied on memberships, just a few reach around to billionaires and they got all the money they needed.
So we have gone to the extremes then. The greens who are bad shit crazy and reform who are bat shit crazy.
Unfortunately, I remember Labour membership soared under corbyn, and look where that got him, a high membership shows individuals sentiment, not national.
Unfortunately they will go the same as the liberals and labour, and once they see the dire figure being hidden away from the public they will have no alternative but to stab every vote in the back, because they will have no alternative
Easy there folks, there’s enough sand for everyone to stick their head in, no need to push.
The state of this sub sometimes, it’s sad to see.
Just joined. I was a member of Labour, but I think they need to realise who their base is and what they really want. This is a good way for me to teach them a lesson. And if they don’t learn it? Well it will be easier for me to lobby/hope the Greens stick with the nuclear deterrent and NATO anyway.
I liked zak in his interview with Lewis Goodall until we get into foreign policy and defense and I’m sorry but he’s falling willfully into the Corbyn trap. It would be wonderful if we could all lay down arms around the world and sing kum by yah together I’m all for it but it’s so dangerously naive to believe this would happen. I’d love to be able to support him for his economic policies but the other stuff is so pie in the sky I genuinely would worry for the safety of Britain.
Does he genuinely believe this stuff about having conversations to disarm the world of nukes and Israel and gaze civic groups having a chin wag and putting differences aside? I was getting the distinct whiff that he doesn’t believe this stuff and he is just saying it because his members believe it.
In the 1950s the Conservative party had 2.8 million members, now it barely had a hundred thousand. Labour at the same time had over a million members and around 6 million people in affiliated unions. Look at how far both these two parties have fallen, but also how public interest in politics has fallen greatly. Lets hope the Greens can help reverse this apathy.
I like some of the stuff I’ve heard from Polanski but I will never vote for the Greens until they change their stance on nuclear deterrence.
Absolutely stupid, naive and dangerous to even consider scrapping ours in this current timeline we’re in.
Drop some of the more looney policies around nuclear and Trident and I’ll join too.
The greens just made me realise voting is almost entirely a popularity contest for some.
Have greens changed anything except getting a new front man people seem to like? Are they voting on policies or just the new shiny guy that does well in the media?
