@david_chisnall @pluralistic I'm sympathetic with all of that. My point was that I see a lot of rhetoric on here, and from the Greens claiming to offer a different more honest type of politics. The reality is that when they are trying to gain a seat locally they have defaulted to exactly the behaviour you are talking about.
The sad thing here is that locally the LDs and Greens were working together, because they were aligned on policy. That's gone now here because the trust is gone.
@miblo @sinabhfuil @pluralistic in a sense that isn't what is playing out in Winchester where the LDs are encumbant with the Tories having faded to nothing and the Greens in the city mostly in second place and Reform third. Labour are nowhere.
I have no issues with more Green councillors but the way our local candidate has gone about it, literally lying about the way he has voted and characterising the LDs as supporting county level issues they don't has been a surprise.
@pluralistic really... that old chestnut still. Yes they were naive then, but since then they have proved at a local and national level they have a level headed approach and are likely to have the largest representation of any party at local level, if not this year with the next two. This is because they get on with the job.
If you look at the way the Greens have conducted themselves here in Winchester any semblence of a different kind of politics from the Greens has been swept away.
@sinabhfuil @pluralistic Pretty lame that you have failed to note that the UK Liberal Democrats in both England and Wales are amongst the most vocal opponents of Palantir in the NHS - but then I can see why across the pond its only the populist noise from the Greens that penetrates...
