wow. with still months to go in Wales, green party might go from zero seats to being part of a governing coalition.

Great progress in new poll for Wales.

Absolutely no complacency though. We're campaigning for every vote between now and May 7th.

Wales needs rent controls, nationalised water and funded public services. To do that, Wales needs to vote Green.
Plaid - 37%, Reform - 23%, Greens - 13%, Labour - 10%

“It’s nonsensical to ever suggest the Green Party doesn’t care about the environment. What has changed is the way we talk about it. It’s just that the first thing that comes out of my mouth is always about bills and cost of living.” www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
Zack Polanski: You can fly, drive, eat meat and still be green
The leader of the Greens wants to widen his party’s appeal and has triggered a surge in membership since his election

We have a similar issue in the UK, our Labour Party used to be socialist but is now centre right/authoritarian. The old members are leaving in droves for a resurgent Green party that will be gaining more votes. I understand socialism as a concept is a hard sell in the US, but what is the alternative

... Labour voter, I would consider tactically voting for the LibDems or the Greens. Now, as a Green Party member, I would look to the LibDems or an independent. In Wales, I'd vote Plaid Cymru tactically, or the SNP in Scotland.

As I said earlier, Labour - most adjacent to the Tories few of whom...

It's only when a Green Party has a space to stand for more broad-based social/leftist policy that they really have a chance to reach far, and that's what looks to be happening in the UK. They could establish themselves as the main left tendency but this is all Labour's fuck-up.

"The political landscape has changed a great deal over the last year or so .... If there were elections, there would be a different picture and the public deserve to be able to vote for that."

I hope the
Green Party do well in Wales, but personally I hope Plaid Cymru win, have a referendum and leave the UK.
Same for Scotland, SNP win and break up the UK.

Perhaps you could get the ‘Bristol Green Party Letter Writing Department’ to send something to your leader Zack Polanski and ask him to come off twitter*?

Hiya #portfolioday! I'm a #kidlitartist and I also make comics! I am looking to expand into picture books this year and would love to work with you!
I am also looking for an agent.

An illustration of two teen girls, laughing and talking, and they set off for a hike in the woods. They are dressed for cold weather and their breath is visible. They are walking into a lush, green, bushy area in the foreground. Behind them is a clearing in a heavily wooded area, with a small cabin. Peeking over the edge of the cabin is a large, shadowy figure with one huge yellow eye. It is watching them. They are totally unaware of it A five panel comic showing an anthropometric onion, dressed in blue robes and blue wizard hat out for a walk when he hears a crack in the bushes and startles to a stop. He looks around, worried. He is being watched by a hooded figure in the bushes. They jump out, surprising him. It's a girl with long, curly red hair, a red dress, and a red cloak. She screams his name "GILLY!" and then grabs him and shakes him while shouting "Can you help me?" A bored middle school girl sits on her bed while Death pontificates about something behind her. She's not listening, she's dreaming of being anywhere else. She has on a dark red tee and jeans. Her bed spread is dark purple with gray gridded stripes, and her walls are covered in goth-y posters. Death's scythe rests against the wall and he's in a hoodie. They're comfortable. You can't expect them to spend eternity in musty old robes. Eight kids sit around a large, round table at a birthday party. From top screen right to bottom: a red headed girl in pigtails preparing to blow out the candles on a large pink cake, a brown haired boy picking his nose and covered in food, a long hair girl wailing because he drink spilled on her food, a boy sleeping, a boy reaching for his mouse who has stolen his pizza and run onto the table, a girl screaming because of the mouse, and two girls talking, unaware of what's happening around them because the gossip is that good. They're all 1st grade ish, so 6-7 years old.

Jill Stein ONLY shows up during presidential elections. The Green Party is wholly unserious, been around 40 years and can't even win at the state and local levels.

Wraparound cover art for Afia in the Land of Wonders by Mia Araujo. Afia stands in front of a tree, sunrise colors the sky. A boy wearing a cat mask watches her from the tree on the left and a white gazelle stands behind her to the right. A bluish forest extends to the left with mist, ferns, and mushrooms. A smoking caterpillar sits on one of the mushrooms. A white gazelle with a brown throat watches the viewer from a lush dark forest. A slice of golden light illuminates it from the left. A chaotic colorful tea party scene--Afia sits in the one chair, surrounded by various characters, including Amadi, who wears a moon-shaped turban and offers her tea. A shaft of golden lights falls over Amadi and Afia as the other characters look on. Food and tea cups clutter the table and lanterns hang overhead. Stepback illustration for “Mexican Gothic” “directed by Silvia Moreno-Garcia”. A frightened woman lit by an eerie green light holds up a lantern. She is surrounded by bioluminescent mushrooms and stands in front of a haunted house, headstones, a dead tree, a spiky fence, and a blood red sky. The image is textured to look like an old movie poster and reads “A Del Rey Production” at the bottom.

I get what you mean but I think a Green / Lib Dem / Labour coalition will be making policy after the next election and a Labour party not led by Starmer and his right wing pals.

Hazel Chu: Grok creates fake, sexualised images without consent and government is OK with that?

The Green Party councillor says the government’s decision to turn a blind eye to AI generation of sexual imagery without consent is not innovation, it’s negligence.

He should stick to being an independent socialist MP his constituency like him and will keep electing him but the future for the left is the Green party.

That's it. I've had enough.

Starmer is a traitor to world peace, the Labour Party, common decency and Europe as a whole.

He has 100% lost Labour my vote now.

Green or Libdem it is.

No point debating the arrogant prick. Racist, imperialist and anti-working class - that’s the Labour Party. Do yourself a favour, don’t waste your time on them - they’ll be history soon.

Btw, I’m neither a Green Party member or supporter but I do recognise wankers when I see them!
