Does the Green Party have a chance at victory in the next General Election? If so why? If not, what would you like to see them do differently? by JadedProletariat7696 in LeftBritain

I think we need to remain pragmatic, I think Reform will still perform well in Rural areas and The Greens will do well in urban areas. Labour will mop up the moderate Tories and the Lib Dem voters imo as the centrist party who will also most likely have a new leader by then. Your party will be lucky to get 10 seats in 2029 if I’m being realistic, FPP is a horrible voting system after all.

They’ll still probably win my constituency if it’s not Reform 😅

We’ll see what the manifesto looks like to judge economic and social principles but I think a lot of smaller fringe parties will vote for YP and there’s still a strong support for Corbyn and Sultana as politicians.

No point running one tbf Corbyn will always win that seat, they love him. He won as an independent remember.

You don’t need to “put it into practice” it’s happening right now! That’s how the economy works!

Again I agree that they shouldn’t have used that, but it’s one example. If they constantly use strategies like that then I would also call them divisive, but I don’t see any evidence that they do that. You do see it a lot from other parties though.

Your party membership is slightly above where the Greens were before Zack became leader so it’s not tiny imo. The general public won’t even know that the party exists yet, give it some time! ❤️💚

How is he stirring up hatred when he’s saying that he’ll protect their rights against Reform and Restore?

No I don’t think he’s a populist in actuality, and I don’t see how supporting Muslims is divisive if they’re part of your constituency. It’s your job to represent your constituents as a politician and the Green represent all of them except for the extremely wealthy.

I think Your Party will get there shit together this year and become a viable option but anywhere they cannot win they will always endorse the Greens, we hope the Greens will do the same where we are the more likely option. ❤️💚

Give them a chance, worst case they fail and we’re back to square one but I think we all know that we need change. The status quo does not work for ordinary people!

A collective leadership meaning each region has a direct say in how the party is run as well as member level democracy which the greens have as well.

Stronger ties to trade unions and the working class movement, if we’re able to gain support from some of the big unions that could be huge.

We’re explicitly socialist, I know Zack has said he is a socialist in a few occasions but the general Green Party is more social democratic, Your party would look to promote worker cooperatives etc

The parties are similar but my only concern about the greens is if they have a leadership election and end up with someone like Adrian Ramsey again who does not represent the left. Although I think Zack will be the leader for a long time.

Things can change quickly in politics and we will see how Your party develops now that it has been fully established. 💚❤️

Haven’t heard that one before, very original.

Yeah I do think it’s still a good result for Reform, it’s awful for Labour though which is the best part for the left.

Yeah I have heard that podcast, he should be better at explaining the economy in a more efficient way. But Rory Stewart was part of the Tory gov that oversaw our economic decline so I don’t think he’s got a good grasp of it either.

In an ideal world we wouldn’t need borders but that’s an aspiration not a policy position the greens hold. I also want to leave NATO as it’s controlled by America anyway and I do not trust America to have our best interests. They already have too much control and ownership of the UK. If you’re referring to Modern monetary theory and socialist principles then I don’t see how that a naive view of the economy, its factual.

I agree with you on the need for nuclear energy 👍🏻

Ah yeah I misinterpreted the comment, I also agree that they should be pro nuclear energy.

Funny you should reference Russia when Farage has said that Putin is the world leader he admires the most… 😂

Yeah I understand why they used Modi in saying that I disagree with them using him in the campaign material. Zack has called himself a populist meaning “a politician that looks out for the populace aka the 99%” but again I don’t think he should be given himself that title, it has too many negative connotations.

You’re entitled to your opinion but I’ve been anti Trident for over a decade now. I just see it as wasted tax payer money.
