      If you want a serious, thoughtful progressive challenge, Zack Polanski’s Green Party is right there. Your Party is just Magic Grandpa Corbyn (aka the one remaining socialist in post-Blair Labour, who got catapulted to fame for actually believing in something other than expediency, which masked the fact that he was not a particularly deep thinker) and a motley crew of hangers-on, each fired up by their own wild vision.

      • Oh I know, I got on board with the Greens right before their leadership election in part to vote for Zack Polanski. It was just nice to have the idea of another party alongside them but, alas, Your Party is not it

          It would be nice if the electoral system was preferential or proportional. Under first-past-the-post, it’s just a grim fight of all against all.

            Greens close to Labour in polls, surpassed Lib Dems. If they surpass, they might be the best challenger to reform, without the baggage, and a good leader.
