      Much of what seems impossible turns out to be quite possible when you get together to try anyway.
      A group of Parisian working women spent just a couple of days fundamentally changing the course of the French revolution in October 1789.
      Generations of people in South Africa and around the world fought apartheid there, even though change seemed impossible almost right up until it happened.
      So many examples of this kind of thing in history, most of them involving large numbers of supposedly powerless people getting together in the face of seemingly impossible odds.
      I believe that Andrew Feinstein has a real chance of beating Starmer in HSP. It just depends on whether his campaign can spread the word fast enough, especially now that the election is happening so soon. That'd be one absolutely amazing upset.

    Sorry, they are not appealing to people of colour at large (also seems to be the case in the videoclips from the campaign launch). They pretty much represent the sustainability/green movement as a western (white) construct, something that is still a luxury for people of colour at large (and maybe the white working class and those whose situation is miserable). Being someone of colour, I can surely say that. While I do not endorse George Galloway's socially conservative views, I still think I can relate to the Workers Party of Britain far more than the Greens.

      On a global scale this completely breaks down. People of colour in the "third world" are the very first people affected by catastrophic climate change, which is one of the major reasons there's so much inaction in the west; they'll act once it starts catastrophically impacting whites - people their governments actually care about. Western governments simply don't see foreign people of colour as people.

      @@crhu319 Over simplified answer. Even under FPTP there are loopholes. It’s difficult to break up the duopoly, but that is not the same as impossible. Between 2010 and 2015, the SNP went from 6 seats to 56. Labour themselves, were a third party in the early 20th century. Before Liberal splits, propelled them up the pecking order. And why can’t the Greens do with the left, what the 57 shades of Farageism, has done with the right? Where the Tories feel compelled to pander to his tune, rather than the one nation Tories. ‘Lesser evilism’, has only served to perpetuate the rightward shift of the Overton window. The Corbyn experience, should have taught progressives, something out of left field, needs to be done. To break the monotony.

    Hove has an amazing candidate and yet she doesn't even have a Facebook page. Peter Kyle as an awful right wing starmerite should be a target for us.

    After a lifetime of voting Labour I have joined the Green Party. I was deeply upset by Keir Starmer's treatment of Jeremy Corbyn; at that point I left the Labour Party. I joined the Green Party because it was the only one that spoke up for Gaza. To me that is a measure and indicator of integrity. I am looking for honest political leadership committed to working for social justice, the wellbeing of creation, international peace and the common good. The Green Party is the only cohesive political group in our country espousing those values.
