Title: There's a Starmer, trailing in the polls...
Post by: Steve H on September 09, 2025, 07:03:35 AM
I'll be voting for Your Party come the next election, if they stand here, or Green if not. Yes, I know the Greens are wrong about trans rights, but that's not a vote-killer for me.

Part of the issue was the result at the election gave false sense of security based around the flaws in the voting system.

It's difficult without the possible new party existing, but what do you see as any real difference between them and the Greens?

Nice thread title.

Probably not a lot. I'd guess that 'Your Party' will be more traditionally socialist and less hippy-dippy than the Greens.
