“Can the Greens really go mainstream?” Lead by a former promoter of breast enhancement, I sincerely hope not.

Let’s try to do more about children in poverty, increasing access to better paid work for women, making work places safer. Labour has started on this, and needsto continue hard and fast.

If the Greens are really "on the Up" then we have to explain why they have been doing so poorly in actual elections. There have been some 200+ Local by-elections since last May, The libdems have made 21 gains, The greens only 3.

There is no sign the Greens will challenge the Capitalist system - for real change the economic system has to be challenged otherwise it’s just Capitalist power politics as usual!

I used to think that, then I delved into their conference-ratified policy archive. The instinct throughout is definitively anti-capitalist.

And that’s before the recent influx of members, who appear to have a distinct anti-capitalist preference.
