Glad to say Green (Adrian Ramsay) is the the tactical vote in my area!
💚💚💚
Fellow Waveny Valley person!!! Yes :D
🤠💚
@@LimeyRedneckhi comrade ✊️
@@sirgaymeerkat1994 Howdy 🤠 Every time I see your name it helps me chuckle, very punny 😄
She has more charm and charisma than the entire Tory and labour party's combined. Vote green ! 💚
Vote Green - Get Tory 💀💀
🤠💚
Siân Berry 💚❤
@@Redsleather Vote Green - get an opposition!
She's a twat but still 100x better than anything the Torys are putting up & better than the Labour candidates that haven't been purged yet. 😢
I really wish they'd stop saying 'those with the broadest shoulders': they're mostly those who are the biggest asshloes
even more reason to tax them >:D
And employ the most people, but that doesn't matter I guess huh 🤷♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@sherbertufo5247To exploit them. Yeah tax these effers
@@sherbertufo5247 1) Any money put into expanding business and creating jobs is NOT taxed.
2) Maybe you didn't hear when she said most of this wealth above 10 million is held in assets like stocks and shares and NO, it doesn't include business assets, factories etc. If it creates jobs or keeps people in work IT IS EXCLUDED.
@@sherbertufo5247actually no, the NHS employs the most people, then some other public services then companies large & small. These people employ very very few as employers go.
I was between lib dem and green, i think after watching this im leaning more towards green.
depends on your constituency, if lib dems are a better tactical vote to get rid of a tory then go for that!
Hope she wins her seat, great person.
Sanity.
Come on you Greens!!!
Sian Berry is super smart.I hope she wins and we get to see her in parliament
I've already voted Green in Bristol East constituency (by post), the biggest reason I switched was because I don't like what the Labour party have do to Corbyn and the others on the left of the party. Starmer doesn't deserve to be Prime Minister, he is a really nasty piece of work.
If only youtube had presented this _before_ 20 to 10 on Election Night 😮
Congratulations to the greens for achieving 4 seats! 💚
Some grim anti-Green sentiment in these comments thus far.
Thing is, who else is advancing progressive, redistributive policies?
Happily voting Green in my constituency. Had a Tory since 2017, probably swing Labour in this election - stuff them both. Neither party is offering much beyond the stultifying status quo.
The thing is, plenty of us already live under the greens.
Who has the 2nd worse recycling rate in the country? BRIGHTON.
Who has miles and miles of cycle lanes, yet no secure storage for bikes for residents such as myself who are forced to have a car instead? BRIGHTON
Who has done nothing about sewage in the sea from Southern Water? BRIGHTON
Who's green Councillors are mostly NIMBYs who got into the position in order to stop house building, wind farm expansion and solar panel deployment in disused fields? BRIGHTON
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
So dear, don't lecture anyone about what you think the greens stand for or will do, when there are a quarter of a million people in this city who have direct decade long evidence of the opposite.
Can we all get to see your shocked pikachu face when Labour take this seat and the greens have none?
@@RGBmode You will not be thanked for speaking the truth. Me local green party hates me because I have asked them what they would do in regard to the damaged roads, around here, and that of increasing anti-social behaviour, and other daily things that effect our living in the Wirral. They have no answer, and God help us if they get into power, here, as worse than the stinking, vile Labour party that we have, strutting around, appearing to be on the latest batch of drugs, one bottle away from a park bench, the lot of them.
Labour has damaged, and continues to damage the likes of Birkenhead, and if Greens get in it will go down faster than a rabbit on an oil slick, let alone Tories, Libs, etc, all representing Apollyon.
@@dougaldouglas8842 You're not fooling anyone, Tory swine.
ignore all these 2 replies, they're lying lmao. either a reform supporter or a bot paid by labour to delegitimate the greens.
@@byunbaekhyun2283 No, I have voted green and ensured they have stayed in power here for over a decade. Not anymore, they're remoaners who want to rejoin the EU and have open borders with 27 poor countries. Brighton is overrun with migrants, 20% of people born in Brighton have been pushed out with high rents, while the Greens outbid locals to house them.
It's rare to walk past someone in the city and hear them speaking English. As you can imagine, the city wants them gone. They won't have a single MP come Thursday. They are NOT professional people, they have a bunch of ideals and just like the Tories they ignore what their constituents and voters are asking them to do and just go off and do what they like with our hard earned money.
They will ignore what you want too, they will ignore their manifesto pledges, all they want is power and control, and when they get it they make everyone's lives worse. Brighton having a recycle rate of just 23% (2nd worse in the entire UK) tells you all you need to know about their competence. They have been an utter disaster for Brighton & Hove.
I hope they retain Brighton and win Bristol too!
Hope not. They bankrupted the council and turned disabled parking bays into bike lanes.
To be fair it is the only Green seat in Britain.
Possibly not for too much longer? Let’s hope.
so far
Thangam Debbonaire is going to lose this election.
I reckon there will be at least two Green MPs at the end of this election.
It's not out of the question that there could be four MPs at this point.
Carla Denyer, Adrian Ramsay and Ellie Chowns are all currently beating both Labour AND the Tories in their races. I'm optimistic about their chances, but we will have to see how they do.
And therefore the safest, the riskiest, the biggest, the smallest, etc 😂
@@juliewake4585 Amen to that. These Commi's destroy everything that they touch
Let’s face it if you have £10m and above your kids are not at risk of starving or being homeless like far too many are because of this cruel and wicked system that the millionaires have benefitted from.
Greens are terrible at managing anything.
People are not starving or homeless because of millionaires. If people have more wealth then ten million good for them. Stop being jealous
@@NeonVisual They are brilliant, know how to manage failing business, simply turning the key in the lock of their business, around here. They could not manage to blow their nose unless told to, commi's
@@dougaldouglas8842 The greens bankrupted Brighton & Hove council and have driven the urk of every council tax payer in the city.
It's the massive student population who keep imposing them on us, but thankfully the polling shows they have already lost Brighton Pavilion so they will not be in parliament anymore.
@@AdamBowley-yb3kd No they're starving and homeless due to billionaires, corporations, hedge funds and the super rich. The UK has 177 billionaires and three million millionaires. They make a fortune from passive income and pay less tax than workers, while syphoning wealth into shell compnaies and tax havens, so that money leaves our shores never to be seen again. It's not jealousy, it's common sense. The productive economy gets worse every day, due to the syphoning of wealth by a small minority. The money given out by Sunal still exist and it needs to be taxed back, notjust from owrkers but from the people who really profited. The rich.
Sian is so cool! I’m going to go and vote for her right now
It’s time for REAL CHANGE. Vote for independents, Lib Dems, Workers Party or the Greens. Neither the Tories, not Labour deserve your vote!
How tf can you include the liberal demociders in that list?
btw that cafe they're in is lovely
While millions of people depend on food banks to eat and more kids than ever live in poverty. It’s nice to see the Greens aren’t short of a few quid
Voting Green in our House ✊
She’s very engaging. I hope she maintains the green seat in Brighton.
Green for me💚
And me
@@juliewake4585 Will you be shocked when they get no MPs? They have already lost Brighton.
Just vote Conservative, it’s the only party who benefits from the wasted Green votes 💀
@@NeonVisual and they won 4 seats
We have moved beyond the old Left v Right paradigm.
we haven't. stop with centrism BS.
We are moving beyond an utterly moribund party system. The left and right is as relevant as ever.
@@byunbaekhyun2283Centrism is a fine ideology, it’s just that it’s meant to be done with pragmatism, the entire point is to serve the country and make it better; who cares what side you might lurch to in order to make that happen, it’s not because of ‘centrist bs’ it’s because the leader isn’t that great
No we haven't.
Under capitalism, the left right divide is inherent to the class system.
If politicians are telling you it's gone, they are conning you into voting against your own interests.
@@kingpig8732there is no such thing as purely technocratic government. Every choice is a choice between one set of interests and another.
The trick of centrism is to make you think that all interests can be satisfied while actually serving the rich.
It's just neoliberal pro-business politics with a more appealing face.
No one should have any illusions about this fact by now.
There isn’t a representative in my area….there isn’t even anything on the local page…..so much for appealing to local people…..not rich enough fund the GREENS
Which area of the UK are you from? we should be fielding across england and wales, majority of scotland, and I don't know what the Irish greens are doing
I thought the same, but the Greens have a candidate in every area. I was confused because I hadn't realised that our constituency boundary had been changed.
The Greens in my area have a terrible track record, and chief men and women keep changing, one recently should her business skills by going bankrupt. I persons have properly, morally earned their money, it is theirs to keep, not some chancers from a political party that is going to penalise them. I think that the Elon Musk's of this world would have something to say about people who sought to take part of the wealth from them
@@dougaldouglas8842 Do you seriously think billionaires have earned their money, let alone fairly 😂
@@APAG So you class them all the same. Elon Musk is a great example of a wealthy man that dedicated his life to the advancement of society, and you want to penalise him, and hundreds of others.
Think if the commi Greens had been around in Ford' day, we would not have the motor car, or any advancement in society.
Yes there are the crooks, top of the list being the so-called Royals, that have not done a days work in their lives, which the Greens will do nothing about, and there are those equally of inheritance that are a pain in the neck.
💚💚💚
Tax the 1% 1%.
Sian berry is sound
She likes the sound of her own voice
@@Redsleather you like the sound of your own comment
The left wing of capital
Amazing!
Really hope they keep this seat! I’ve heard there’s a lot of dissatisfaction locally because the local Green councillors have been a bit crap. We really need more environmental/anti genocide voices in parliament!
‘Anti genocide’?
A. That’s nothing to do with us
B. Nothing to do with the environment
C. Islam is NOT a green friendly ideology - it’s not friendly to anything frankly especially not gays, women or Jews
🤠💚
You talk the talk..........But look at the Green council in Brighton, they closed the public toilets and stopped killing weeds, with no other plans in place for control. Only interested in their own pet projects and no consolation with the residents. I had previously always voted Green but not this time.
If the weeds are allowed to grow bigger, couldn't people take a crap in them?
God is that the best you two can come up with. Very sad👺
The Greens aren’t Green. They’re watermelons. You might just as well vote Labour Libdem or the Commie Party
It's annoying they have Tom Gray, an excellent Labour Candidate, going for the same seat when there are rubbish candidates in Kemptown where he could go
You should do the right thing and vote Labour 🌹🌹
@@Redsleather if they're getting a big majority in the country then is it really that important?
@@Fwuzeemplease don’t believe the hype, every vote matters to get rid of the Tories. The Tories would love people voting Green or Independent as it can allow a Tory victory by splitting Labour and LibDem votes. Unless you want another 5 years of the Tories, it’s not worth it
Shame the turbines off the coast of Brighton are all owned by foreign countries and none of the wind power feeds Brighton or UK
So the substation at Twineham doesn't exist?
@@nigelgarrett7970 don't know just know they don't feed the UK grid? Or the profits go abroad? I was surprised tbh
@@sofikat22 If you were talking about the Rampion wind farm then it is foreign owned, but does feed in to the UK grid, the cable from the wind farm comes ashore near Lancing.
unfortunately the Greens in Scotland are , erm, not as reasonable as the folks in the English party hence they got booted out of their coalition with the SNP. due to their shenanigans i wonder if they'll lose seats in Scotland
We are all Voting Green in Norwich. ❎❎❎❎❎❎ I think Starmer will lose the election.
I'm an ex Greenpeace activist broke my back at the Sellafield action against British nuclear fuel. Id rather vote for the bloody Tories. Green party is infiltrated with fachist Virtu seeking woke's!!!

Typical green delusion
I don't know if you're in Norwich north or south but at least for south it looks like Clive Lewis will win again but hopefully we can make greens the 2nd party so they can push on at the next election!
You thick or something?
Yes make people pay more taxes on wealth and make it seem like that money is doing nothing. Not all assets produce money to live off.
It's simply a matter of undoing the tax breaks that the Tories have put in place over the last 14 years. They're all going to be undone within a couple of months given that we're going to have a lib dem opposition scrutinising them.
It's not increasing taxes, it's restoring them.
Nonsense....why only over 10mil
So the wind farm is private, southern water is constantly putting sewage in the sea, and you keep letting overpriced, poorly built private housing be put up all over the city centre to accommodate London commuters and students but don’t do anything about the lack of social housing development. You’ve completely priced out locals from living in the city centre. Done nothing about HMO’s. Should be ashamed more wasn’t done when the council was green with the amount of money flowing into the city. You’ve let developers and landlords pinch every penny that comes down from London. Thanks for facilitating the growing inequality seen in Brighton today, can’t wait to see what Sian can achieve representing the city in parliament 😊
Brighton Council do not control any waterways that feed into the channel, so I don't really know what you expect a local city council to do about other towns releasing sewage into the waterways. Also, honest question coming from someone born in Brighton who now lives outside it, how would a local council prevent locals from being priced out? Rising housing costs are a problem in every major city, and Brighton's location makes it very attractive. They can't just bar people from buying homes if they don't already live in the city.
@@KeirGroves rent caps, reducing HMO’s, building more social housing in the town centre, not allowing the universities to take on more students than they can provide for without huge reliance on the private sector housing. Town planning has a huge effect on local economy. If most low wage workers live outside the city centre and the centre is full of affluent people working for international corpos or commuting to London, The local economy will be highly unequal and inefficient, and without rent control, all excess poll tax you’re collecting is going straight on footing the uc claimant housing payments and social care costs etc. You’re not able to socialise this wealth being brought in from elsewhere, the council/city will remain poor and remain reliant on the money coming in from elsewhere. Obviously cuts have shredded local budgets but it’s been happening for 15 years, all the council has done is sat on its hands and complain about budget, not come up with any practical solutions, and basically facilitate the sell off of the city centre to housing developers. If I see another steel frame high rise with tiles of brick slip swear down I’m going to jump off the thing. We’ve known these buildings are the poorest quality you can possibly deliver to regs and they just keep going up.
And as for the sewage, its southern waters sewage and we all pay for them to deal with it. Councils should be perusing legal action against them on behalf of its citizens surely ?
Brighton council is actually right up there nationally in terms of social housing built in the last decade. It's not loads but it's way more than most councils
@@sofikat22 relative to the amount of private development it really isn’t much at all.
Well I'm in Brighton Pavilion and this will be the first time in several elections that I will be voting Labour and not Green, due to announcing that they want to undo the referendum. That's undemocratic and self serving.
is it undemocratic if thats what the country wants? multiple polls find that alot of people that voted to leave have changed their mind
Most of the people who voted to leave are dead as overwhelmingly those who voted to leave where elderly. Also the fact that we where lied to repeatdedly during the referundum remembrer the 300million that was Promised to go to the NHS? What happened with that both the people where lied too and it where the elderly that dictated it. We are not a necrocracy.
@@archive3339 Did you not get a chance to vote in the once-in-a-generation referendum? You do realise it was final, right? We had 8 years of sending UKIP to the EU (which became their biggest party) to get us out, none of the main parties got a single MEP seat. Then we elected Cameron to give us the referendum we wanted, we won the referendum, then we had another general election to "get brexit done", and of course remoaners lost every single one of them.
This mind-changing narrative your lot have created in your echo chamber has nothing but contempt for democracy and you ought be ashamed. If you carry on like this you're going to get Nigel Farage as PM, or an even worse populist leader.
Cry harder.
@@archive3339 Correct, it's undemocratic. The decision was permeant and everyone who voted knew that.
@@archive3339 its very undemocratic.
If you've changed your mind that's your problem.
If you have more than £10m then you can pay for very good accountants who make sure you won't pay the tax. Great idea but unrealistic unfortunately.
Thank god the greens have got ambitious ideas, unfortunately 'speedbumps' in the road have the same effect as leaving the handbrake on. Think big & go for it. Greens all the way.
If you earn, earn being the word, £10 m, the Green's will penalise you, yet again, you having already paid a high amount of tax on what you have earned, and guess what, high earners will move their business abroad, or register them abroad where there is a lower tax rate. Greens are as bad as Labour, and the rest of them
Switzerland has a wealth tax that has been in effect for decades and it works just fine.
The reason U.K. tax law is so full of holes is because it has been designed that way.
@@michaelrch The Gnomes of Switzerland love it that way, and note how pristine that country is, clean and well ordered, our nation a dump
Asset forfeiture.
Brighton was ruined by the Green party
Great place
Brighton hasn't been ruined by anything it is a very nice place.
These middle class, middle of the road handwringing liberals that run the Greens are just rich kids playing protest sixth form politics because they’ve nothing better to do
blah blah.. just like IHT and top rate of income tax..
its set at £10m today and 10 years from now we are all affected
keep lying.
@@byunbaekhyun2283 your probably jobless
Those who work to earn what they earn already pay a high level of tax, and the Green's never shout about the obscene amount of money that MP's get, and how their pay increases, and increases, and increases, and for what, lying to us and destruction of the country. No! attack those who make wealth for the country because that is what appeals to audiences. These commi's are all the same
