Because there is such focus on 5 seats for Reform and so little for Green winning 4 I thought I would just pop this up - I hope this is the beginning of increasing belief that Green is not a wasted vote

I sincerely hope that on a national level they will sound less Hamasy than those newly elected local councillors that dominated news reporting in the last few weeks.

Thank you for using your voice in this way, it's good for more people to learn about 'short money'
It means EVERY single vote the Greens got will be helping our 4 new MPs to do their jobs in opposition; it was definitely not wasted.

One more point - sorry. As someone on the far left, a Green revolution is a lot more palatable than a Marxist one, because a Green uprising would involve lead-free bullets, Eco-friendly Molotov's and the mass planting of trees to offset the carbon footprint left by the burning of parliament.

Last political point - hopefully. Reform backers are rich and powerful, the Greens, not so. Four MPs may not sound like much, but now the Green parliamentary budget has quadrupled. They can fund more press stuff, organise better, more recourses etc. If you want to help the Greens, donate.

To be fair, there's far less of an expectation that the Greens will be spearheading an uprising which leads to a socialist workers revolution, than there is for Farage to be the figurehead for the fourth Reich. Also, like a tree, the Greens approach is more sustainable in the long-term, ironically

It breaks my heart that the media are going to spend years fawning over Farage with those 5 seats as justification, and continue to ignore the Greens, because the fash make “good telly”, and trying to save humanity is boring, or something. The media will get us all killed.
