The Green Party just made Keir Starmer yesterday's man and beat Farage's Reform, for good measure.

The Gorton and Denton bye-election. What a win! Proud to say that I campaigned in this.

Not to belittle anyones efforts here. However. This was an election with at least two unpalatable offerings, plus your successful candidate.. This does show that at least British voters are awake enough to see both sides as bad and go looking for a third way and more power to them for that..Now exactly what is this candidate going to DO to make things better, without screwing up everything else?😷

@whowasthatmaskedman A lot. It's a genuinely left social-democratic party. All the policies are available online.

@Burnley123 OK. But as any good Capitalist will tell you, you cant spend money you dont have. Everything has to be paid for. And historically there is more "Everything" than there is money to pay for it.. And you cant tax people like you used to or they take their money and move..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman quoting Dennis Skinner: We'll do what they (the capitalists) do. We'll borrow the money.

Always fascinated by the doublethink that when capitalists borrow money it's seen as 'business acumen' but when socialists do it, it's presented as reckless and clueless

@Philth Well, there is some sense in that. Or there used to be before America went sour. Now your viewpoint is correct..Both sides just gut the $ by borrowing fake money.😷

@kittee A policy I agree with. Fresh water shouldnt be a commodity. It should be a public good. And the standards maintained by the government.😷
