My friend @Lazarou

Made a very profound point upon noticing whom the Labour Party seems to be most attacking: the Green Party, that is

He said, "The Labour Party are more concerned about another left wing party, then they are about a racist party."

Once you see this, you can never unsee this.

Gosh!

@Geri @Lazarou well yes

Labour's core belief is that _they_ are the one-stop shop for delivering political change, their party are the gatekeepers of left-wing political activity

So the success of any other left-wing party is an existential threat to them - as is electoral reform that would effectively eliminate any future Labour majority government. They'd rather lose to the Tories most of the time than be a major partner in a coalition most of the time.

@jackeric @Geri @Lazarou Look at how Brighton Pavilion was always a high priority target for Labour, even when it was the only Green seat.
