@UnionJacked__ There was almost no campaigning due to exhaustion from G&D and locals. Both of which Labour put almost no effort into by comparison.
What you "owe" the greens is what you owe the country:
Nationalised utilities
Removal of NHS privatisation
A green new deal
Affordable housing
@UnionJacked__ Yeah, G&D and local elections have been exhausting.
The seat was basically unwinnable and the only potential effect would have been to install a Reform MP that would have kept Starmer in place.
All Burnham has to do is deliver left wing policies and the greens will go away.
@Hezbolsonaro It was basically unwinnable.
A lot of activists are exhausted from G&D plus the locals.
Burnham offered something huge that no other candidate could: make Starmer go away forever.
Pretty decent offer.
@UnionJacked__ This coming from a guy who made a post cheering on the bombing of civilian buildings? ๐
My stance was for the greens not to enter a candidate while Labour sorts itself out.
A vote for Burnham is a vote to remove Starmer. It's impossible to compete with that kind of offer.
