    The Green Party are coming up from being essentially irrelevant: in the last election, they barely registered outside of a few easily stereotyped areas like Brighton and Bristol. That they’re polling as much as they are, without the mainstream media giving them publicity, is impressive in itself, and a threat to established interests.

      Absolutely. I’ve been banging on and on at brits to start voting third party when fucking labour were in power and left. Too little too late

      And the Greens are growing without the benefits of millions in dark money and media collusion.

      Another bit of context: 317 local councils in England, 130 of which had elections. Reforn now controls 12, Greens 3. So the immediate impact doesn’t support any conclusion about inevitability.
