Pull the other one. The green party can barely influence their own supporters.

there to what the Labour run Greenwich Council want. That could drain
votes away and cause issues with second preference votes from Green
Party supporters.


Hardly anyone in london gives a monkeys about the greens. 2nd votes I suspect
will probably go all over the shop.

I also think there is a wider malaise with Labour - inevitable after


Perhaps if Labour actually represented anyone other than a small bunch of
out of touch liberals in north london with a bit of ethnic wash over the top
they might be taken seriously again.

Didn't stop Boris winning though did it? Also Labour couldn't oust


The only reason london is labour leaning is the ethnic vote. Take them out
of the equation and its almost as blue as the rest of the country.
