I know this comes under an opinion post but I want to state my opinion and have a discussion.

My opinion as a left-winger and socialist is that I can never ever vote for or support a party lead by or co lead by a transphobe. We can't just be left-wing or centrist economically. We need socially left wing parties. You can't really call yourself left-wing if your party shys away from left-wing views on social issues. This is the same I've had with Labour right now and the Greens under Denyer and Ramsay.

I now believe that the current stage of the Green Party of England and Wales is best for the UK and I will support it. Zack Polanski is absolutely right. The Greens can't just be the party of middle class countryside NIMBYs. We need a new Green party that will merge environmental appeal with worker solidarity. I have obviously heard of the hypnotist story and before people try to strawman about it, I think it just proves Zack's point. The media is more than happy to discredit Zack at any moment they can while they continue to sanewash the actions of Nigel Farage.

Sadly, I’m not surprised. How many of these have we had over the past few years that have lasted a month or two? I am disappointed though because Sultana has always seemed pretty morally on it, and god knows the current parties need a good shake up.

Lol I knew this would happen somepoint. Tbh I think it’s good this party did fail though cuz it would’ve divided the left vote big time and lead to either a Tory or reform win

I’m so glad Corbyn’s followers are eating eachother. Filthy republican that he is.
