If you knew the Greens would win in your seat you'd vote for them

In other words, people don't vote Green mainly because they think they have no chance.

Their manifesto on Education seems to correspond with a lot of views on mumsnet, aibu?

By that argument you can't vote for any party, though. Society hates women.

Even the female part of it????

If it would get our sitting Tory out I'd vote Green, SDLP or SNP (and the last 2 would not be easy in SE England).

I don’t vote for women hating wankers, so no.

The first response always nails it!

Oooo Aimée!

I would, but sadly I'm stuck in a safe Tory seat. My only hope is that Reform steal enough votes from them.

No chance.

Yup, I have and will again.

I know my Green candidate well so she'll get my vote, she's a well educated, intelligent woman with loads of common sense. She's also one of the party who is far from a TRA (there are quite a few of them, their voices just get drowned out in the media)
