I’ve voted Green in local elections for many years and on one occasion in a general election, though as my MP is now the estimable Rachel Maskell I’ll be voting Labour as long as she remains the candidate.
Still unsure about Polanski though I’m warming to him a bit. I don’t care for the term ‘populist’ whether that’s applied to left or right and if he dials back a bit on the urge to ‘appeal’ as I think he will, and develops a measured, sober strategy going forward to the next election I think the Greens will maintain their momemtum and draw in disaffected ‘soft left’ Labour and Liberal voters.
As ever with politicians: expect nothing but hope for something.
