The first UK opinion poll conducted following the Green Party’s win in the Gorton And Denton by-election is quite something:

@katemorley

Lib-Dem / Green Party coalition is a decent potential match up.

[nickperks@mastodon.social]

@katemorley All usual caveats about one poll etc, but that really is an extraordinary set of numbers.

[jwdt@mastodon.social]

@katemorley quick, better raise the voting age to 50 before anyone else with detectable levels of human decency gets elected!

[fietsbel@mastodon.social]

@katemorley I can’t be happy, considering your voting system and the far-right still at the top. That’s not the UK I would be happy with. #nofascism #stopfarage

@katemorley
It would be interesting to know the distribution of second choices for each of those categories.

[lordofthegeeks@mastodon.social]

@katemorley probably a blip but an exciting one!

[thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io]

@katemorley I think the true problem with western democracies is that the establishment parties stopped standing for anything and instead let all decisions be done by consultants; and they utterly fail to understand this despite decades of decline.

@katemorley

Amazing to think how voters respond when they actually get a chance to see Greens policies in the media.

@katemorley Wait until the Westminster propaganda machine ramps up, that will soon change. They will find some shit to sling at Polanski. They will probably tar him an antisemite and a terrorist supporter, they did that to Corbyn

[charlesdelavalleepoussin@mastodon.social]

@mossyrua @katemorley

Nooo not the lib Dems.

They have behaved zionist to the core.

Their leader said the controls on macabbi tel aviv thugs was victimising the victims.

And that's not the only outrageous statement coming from the lib Dems.

[black_flag@beige.party]

@charlesdelavalleepoussin @mossyrua @katemorley

Nick Clegg anyone?

[black_flag@beige.party]

@jwdt

Aren't they talking about revising down to 16?

[axeln@norden.social]

@katemorley Now watch the center opening fire on the „threat from the left“.

[jwdt@mastodon.social]

@Black_Flag probably not if they see this.

[bob@epicyon.libreserver.org]

@Black_Flag If LibDems coalitioned with Greens then I either wouldn't vote Green, or just wouldn't vote. Maybe "your party" if they got their act together, but it looks like they'll be a clown show for the foreseeable.

[airadam@mastodon.me.uk]

@katemorley Reform leading is pretty terrifying, even if the voting system won't necessarily translate those numbers into seats.

[black_flag@beige.party]

@bob But they wouldn't tell you that before the vote. It would only come to pass after. As in 2010.
