Keir Starmer at it again..

Farage has managed this for years. His supporters lap it up.

Agreed, but it's always a derivative of the same single issue that appeals to a certain band of people. It's why I do t think we'll have a Farage lead government that isn't a Tory combo

I agree. But this all applies (in reverse) to Reform/UKIP but they've managed to become an important part of UK politics.

The same could happen with the Greens.

I don't think it does apply though, unfortunately.

A lot of what Reform/UKIP do is legitimised as just 'very conservative/patriotic', whereas the media and sections of the electorate freak out more at 'lefty/woke' stuff

I agree regarding the media, and the Greens wouldn't get the same weight behind them.

The Green's would need to push an anti facsict/racism line and really go at it, not sure they'd have the stomach for that though as it'd get pretty horrible.

It's a tough one; they're a party that has an opportunity to present a really positive offer, so getting dragged into culture wars stuff can easily take up all your messaging

I mean, both of Corbyn's manifestos were fully 'costed' but many have been gaslit into thinking govts can't do anything. I've even seen people on here argue in favour of having their own state pension cut.

Worth the watch...

I think you'll find we've had enough of experts
