I went out to help a couple of times for this by-election, and some of my friends said I was aiding Reform by splitting Labours vote, but by being another (better) alternative, we had the opposite effect, and kept them further from gaining a foothold in the area

I fear this is another fumble. If/when they arrive, I want them to succeed (as part of an ecosystem on the left that includes the Greens with whom I will remain) but endlessly teasing a thing with no real way of geting involved, just endless sign-ups for mailing lists, is a waste of energy

For many long years, the left in Britian has been repeating that we need new leadership, if we don't grasp this oppurtunity with both hands we may spend another 5 years in the wilderness. Join the Green Party, Vote Zack Polanski.

The lack of dissent "could never have happened under previous Labour governments of the 60s, 70s, the 90s or noughties." You would have seen a few resignations. And the international development secretary would have strongly considered resigning, he says

This is something I come up against even in London, where the Greens got 18 second places in 2024, reversing this notion alone is a big way for the Greens to unlock electoral gains
