    I don’t know enough about the subject to answer, so I will have to look into the argument for their reasoning; unlike RWNJ, who apparently pluck their opinions out of thin air, I look at the actual evidence before arriving at a decision.

    However, it must be stressed that this is one candidate’s opinion – it is not official Green Party policy.

    The solution is easy. Which of the three rational parties – Greens, Labour or LibDems can beat Conservatives/Reform. That’s the one to go for.

    Labour and the Lib Dems are “rational”?

    Not for a long time now: Labour sold their souls to the devil once Blair took over, while the Lib Dems should never be forgiven for supporting the Tories in the 2010 coalition (and getting f*** all in return, lest it be forgotten).

    Anyone whose brain has not been eroded by nearly 50 years of neoliberal propaganda has only one option: vote Green.

    You can tell that the right wing Establishment (i.e. most of it) is terrified of the Greens purely because of the scaremongering headlines. Apparently the ‘Polanski wants to ban racing’ bollocks stems from a single Tweet two years ago. As far as I am aware the Green manifesto for the next General Election has not been published so we don’t know their position, as a party, on racing, prisons, drugs, or anything else.

    Being a democratic institution, there is presumably facility to remove Polanski should the membership decide. Does the same exist for Reform?

    “You can tell that the right wing Establishment (i.e. most of it) is terrified of the Greens purely because of the scaremongering headlines.”

    Absolutely correct, Richard.

    But the intellectually bereft sheeple will fall for it.

    They are rapidly becoming the party of the left. Despite laughable claims to the contrary, Labour is no longer left wing and many will not forgive the Lib Dems for the 2010 debacle.

    According to the RWNJ, this Labour government is socialist.

    😂

    Ourfight.uk appears to be another of those organisations which conflate the dislike of the actions of Netanyahu’s extremist government with dislike for all Jews.

    They are not the same thing.

    And, lest we forget, Zack Polanski is Jewish.

    “Our problems are not coming over here by small boat, they are flying overhead”

    Too bloody right, although Polanski could equally have said they’re sailing in ridiculously expensive yachts.

    Firstly, who says the Greens won’t let you do anything? 🤷‍♂️

    Secondly, banning horse racing is not official policy.

    Finally, that breast thing was a PR stunt, made before Polanski was even in politics, as has been explained millions of times. It speaks volumes about the intellectual capacity of those who just repeat this line ad nauseam.

    It also speaks volumes that it’s the only bit of ‘dirt’ that anyone can dig up on him. Compare that to what certain other politicians have got up to in their pasts, and indeed in office in some cases.

    Well, looks like i’ll be ‘excluded’ from society, as a Right-winger. Banished to the island of Lundy, where i’ll live as a goat.

    It won’t upset many if any on this thread but I would self exclude if greens got in but Father Time might beat me to it.
    I will do an Olly Robins and not disclose my reasons why :wacko:

    Reads like an Allister Heath headline in the Telegraph.
