I’m not familiar with UK parties to be honest, outside of Labour, the two make-rich-people-richer parties and the insanity party I don’t even know which parties there are. If I were British I’d vote for the leftmost and most environmentally friendly party I could find. If that is the Greens then that sounds good to me

I love the Greens and their current direction, but they’re at the point where they’re saying unworkable things to get left wing support, knowing they’ll never have to follow through because they won’t win enough power.

There’s a reason why fringe parties tend to remain on the fringe.

Well, me too.
Sadly they’re a long long way from any real power.

That’s probably keeping many likeminded people from voting for them. A result of the deeply unfair FPTP voting system. In my country we long ago had a similar system, it resulted in a single party state, until it was reformed to a proportional system.

That would definitely increase both voting and representation for the Greens, yes.
Tactical voting is a big thing in the UK to mitigate some of the imbalance of the FPTP system, along with informal electoral pacts between parties.

There’s always direct action.
Which is the only way anyone ever won anything for the left anyway.
Inclusive of but not necessarily violence. But also apparently painting stuff or saying that’s bad is terrorism, so, I mean, why not?
