Back in 2019 we had a four party system in the polls if not the ballot box as Brexit chaos led to Labour & Tory decline
Today we have five choices, with the Blukip share still on 45%
Your Party landed dead on arrival, but Greens very viable & will attract millions from "don't know" & Labour

The odd number look to be a fair call... but so many doubts around the evens!

It all comes down to GDP growth required NOW as well as clarity post 🇷🇺 🇺🇦 conflict and Trump in 🇺🇸
We are in the midst of 4th industrial rev'n plus hybrid war with 🇷🇺
The only way forwards is for 🇳🇴 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 to work together on this polycrisis

You're going to hit 20% then aim for 25%
Greens will perform spectacularly next May
All great stuff
But then the real challenge begins as you need to find more candidates, beef up your proposition, and deal with the inevitable print media onslaught

Do we wish to have a serious discussion or are all your energies directed towards attacking Streeting & Labour?!
Try looking up the impact of demographics since 2015 AND underfunded Social Care
Simplistic approaches to the NHS employing 1M and servicing a population of 70M don't cut it!

Really?!
Long term waits > 1 year doubled from 2M to 4M under the Tories since 2010
Are we suggesting that too is down to NHS staff, or does Gov't policy & resourcing play its part?

Suggest that we consider the full picture around cutting waiting lists - from local health clinics to Apps, from a workforce plan to employer schemes.
And what about the largest drain on the NHS: social care?
We all need the lists to come down

Waiting lists have been coming down since Labour took office
Perhaps we should look at a broader range of solutions to maintain and accelerate the reduction of lists before talking only about pay?

Let's revisit after May 2026 elections:
- results across the country
- Polanski & Greens next level
- Tories change leader?
- Blue Labour challenged?

The main point is that 🇬🇧 politics has finally shifted from post war two party, broad church set up to a clear three party set up.
Where we had centre left and centre right, we now have technocratic centre, Alt-right & Green / Left
Same as 🇫🇷 but FPTP
2026 will confirm trend

Not really!
We're faced with the existential challenge of rebuilding our relationship with 🇪🇺, retaining ECHR, ramping up defence spending...
And exploring what life, economy and government looks like in the 2030s, once this 4th industrial revolution really takes off
Or letting Farage win!

Whatever happened, has happened!
But those behind this fracture of the "broad church" (that has been Labour forever) have always calculated that the SCG were subject to Stockholm syndrome!
2025 sees Polanski convert the Greens into an alternative that may well mature into a major force

Blue Labour have been hiding in plain sight!
But politics is dynamic, so who's to say how Labour MPs and others respond to the results next May?
This isn't about what any one of us feel or believe, but how our spectrum shifts towards that of say 🇫🇷 or 🇩🇰

The point is that they've ditched much of their GE2024 coalition through this move, lack of vision and poor delivery!
Corbyn has been asleep so Polanski has marched Greens into the spaces left by Labour shift
U40s have picked up on this but what of those >50?

They really aren't and to pretend that they are is to completely misunderstand the landscape, and the gaps
Labour WAS always a broad church of soft Left and further Left which supported Parliamentary path
Now they've shifted to drop the Left & absorb one nation Tories AKA technocratic centrists...

Means finding enough credible candidates, building local capability AND evolving the national policy / presentation blend
Then there's the fourth estate!
In short, is the Green Party ready to handle immense growing pains?

Badenoch appears to forget who had a landslide victory for 2019-2024 Parliament, and how little the Tories actually achieved
The electorate won't forget and will make their choices known in years to come

💯 when it comes to grass roots organisation
My point is that Greens have travelled from 10% to 15% in 2025, 20% is a small stretch and 25% comes next!
Can we anticipate the provocations and responses as we approach GE2029?
I'm on the cusp of leaving Labour btw!

The landscape will be completely reshaped next May and akin to May 2019
Will Tories or Labour change leadership?
What will Greens learn and how will they develop for 2027?

The GTTO alliance and tech for tactical voting will evolve by GE2029 such that the electorate across the country should be well informed (despite print media)
The landscape will be similar to mid 2019 but the far right will carve out who stands where
Greens will climb to 20%+ soon enough!

Agreed
First we accept we are where we are... many couldn't do that pre pandemic
Then we address the political, social and economic benefits of rejoining... which are all the more stark after 🇷🇺 🇺🇦 & Trump
This is now existential!

If I recall correctly, their ambition was to sweep up 3M UKIP voters, trigger Article 50 then call GE2017
What they failed to factor in was the impact of their "dementia tax" as well as new style grass roots Labour campaign

The challenge is broader!
First off the print media is owned by overseas billionaires who will never present a balanced view of UK interests
Then we have OfCom, GBnews & BBC news
And finally FPTP distorts the ability to discuss today's real challenges

He's not lasting because they've done sweet FA with a landslide victory at GE2024!
To launch with cutting winter fuel allowance saving a paltry £1BN wasn't just burning political capital.
It also betrayed a paucity of vision - since confirmed by Blue Labour
