New research suggest legislators under-estimate the public support for green polices, and think a minority of loud objectors to such polices are more typical than they actually are (egged on by a right wing, climate-sceptical media).
This may be the background to the accelerating support for the Zac Polanski led Green Party of England & Wales: at last a politician willing to express views many hold (but Labour is reticent about)

It baffles me how die-hard Labour supporters despise what is happening with their party yet continue to throw in all their support. This, regardless of the fact that Labour has practically gone full fascism.
I ask, what's wrong with going with what is important in your heart instead of falling on one's own "pride" sword?
This isn't the only country that has their major political parties all go fascist, xenophobic, racist and bigoted. *hint hint, #us.
Yet when a party such as the #greenpartyuk actually makes sense, the 1st thing I hear from my very left leaning friends is how they hate the 20mph speed limit?!?! Really?!?! That's your reason for voting for fascism?
Silver lining: as you've alluded to and I agree, people are coming around. I believe we're in for a big surprise soon and #labour #tories #ReformUK are going to be scrambling to recover.
