Everyone saying no, who would you vote for instead - Reform?!

That isn’t a binary choice! In my area we have Labour, Lib Dem, Conservative, a couple of independents wanting a better swimming pool or changes to SEN support, Green and Reform. Plenty of options without going for craziness.

So you celebrate a party founded on ecological values and green policies that then drops all of those core values. Way to go. Don't you think their name should bear some semblance of their values - just in case it misleads people?

The Labour Party was founded in Trade Unionism to represent working class people, yet hasn't been identifiably Socialist since the 1970s. That didn't stop people handing them a thumping majority two years ago.

All political parties morph and change over time.

Embarrassing to admit you don't like Jews...

Lol. Now you're being silly. Yes, everyone who won't vote Green votes Reform. There are no other options.

Sadly not while ZP is in charge. He shouldn’t be in charge of ANYTHING.

You are not unreasonable to hope for that! But others are not unreasonable to hope they don’t. I’d love to be able to vote Green but the Scottish Greens have said I shouldn’t vote for them and that I am not welcome. So I won’t.

Try harder.

Depends who it is.

im a green, and I am horrified by ZP.

30 candidates being investigated for antisensemitsm is not good.

Theyve withdrawn support for two candidates locally thank god, but they should never have been chosen in the first place.

absolutely disgraceful. Zack - who never had a license for hypnotism and said he could make a woman’s boobs bigger, as well as lying about being a spokesperson for the Red Cross, will lap it up and spin the spin.

He should resign in my honest opinion.

There’s a handful of good greens. Those I’d vote for. None locally so I haven’t.

Maray1967 · 07/05/2026 15:42

They’re a complete joke. I’d vote Tory before I’d vote Green, and that is saying a lot.

MrsBennetsPoorNervesAreBack · 07/05/2026 15:40

No. I used to really like the Greens but I'm afraid they have totally lost the plot.

Miranda65 · 07/05/2026 15:39

YABU. They are anti-Semitic, and that's just the worst of their many faults.

pinkdelight · 07/05/2026 15:39

Nah. I don't mind them being a voice in the mix but no way should they get any power. Especially not ZP. Anyone green hearting him seems pretty naive to me.

PowerfulFireHorse · 07/05/2026 15:38

Totally agree. But sadly MN won't as the people on here love to bash the Greens 😞

Meadowfinch · 07/05/2026 15:37

Completely unreasonable. ZP is a self-confessed liar on multiple issues. He's a snake oil salesman.

I don't understand how anyone can be so foolish.
