Do we need to swear to make a political point? And someone who mentions it is called "goady"?

They are unlikely to get into power but they will give Labour a very bloody nose over the coming years, and at the next GE.

They will split the left/liberal vote and that will benefit Reform.

Im not sure greens would be better than reform. Greens are providing essentially justifications for islamic terrorist attacks in Britain. Is this who you want in government?

Many of my friends are more right leaning than me, but given a choice they would vote "leftist" rather than reform et al. Its not the insult you think it is.

It would help if people learned to listen to what people have said. I repeat:-

"Speaking to BBC South East ahead of his party conference, Zack Polanski said he agreed with a Kent Green councillor, who earlier this year called for the legalisation of all drugs, including class A drugs like heroin and crack cocaine."

Show quote history

TBF both are available in a small Cornish village, apparently quite easily, we have in effect "legalisation" by the back door.

Things like cannabis, mdma, coke etc are widespread and ignored by the Police.

I don't know whether legalisation would work but what we have now isn't... the argument being that taking away the criminal side of things means the state controls supply and quality.

Personally i'd prefer better Policing & punishments but we don't want to pay for any of that, so then what?

Funny how we're left wing now hey @BIossomtoes. When actually I am fairly middle ground. I could see some good things that the Tories have done, but many stupid things. It was time for the pendulum to swing the other way for a bit. Although they arent doing great esp with the comms...

To be fair I’ve always been left leaning. The closest I ever came to the centre was voting for Blair. That’s why I’m so disappointed in this government, I waited 14 long years for this and I wanted better.

All this fuss about one Green win - I really don't think it's massively significant given the local demographic and the upcoming local elections will be the real test.

As if the Greens are going to get anywhere near power! Not going to happen.

No it’s not.. It’s all overblown and now they’re investigating male family coercion with voting. 🙄

They just like to misrepresent Reform wherever they can. It has been repeated by the left so often that unless you accept Mass immigration, you are a racist. Brainwashed.

Still not correct. I’ve criticised this government plenty. There’s no need to put a label on me, I have views that are left of yours - which, to be fair, isn’t difficult.

It' would be helpful if people learned how to distinguish between legalisation and decriminalisation.

Are you able to debate without getting personal? FWIW I've seen the views you've expressed and I see nothing untoward in what's been said to you.

The slur wasn't aimed at you though? So as we all know, even if the person (or persons looking at your post) didnt MEAN to call someone names, its my lived experience, and how it made me feel being called (however subtly) far right is the important thing.
