Message to all media commentators:

If you're now saying, 'well, of course, the Greens policies will now be subject to some proper scrutiny'.... let me suggest you subject Reform UK Ltd to the same rigorous scrutiny, not keep giving them a free pass on their various (and objectionable) policy stances!

But, lets be clear, attacking the Green Party of England & Wales while waving Reform UK Ltd through scrutiny, actually plays to the Greens' analysis of politics.

#politics #Greens

@ChrisMayLA6 it's just the Greens being proven right again and again. Pointing out the tired playbook of the Oligarchs and their pet politicians, good stuff!

@Lazarou @ChrisMayLA6

We have a similar problem in Aotearoa NZ. Unlike UK, NZ has a proportional representation system of government similar to the German system - Mixed Member Proportional Representation aka MMP.

The NZ Greens have a strong representation in parliament but have never been in government they have had ā€˜confidence and supply’ relationships with Labour led governments but have never been able to get roles inside cabinet.

This year there’s another #NZPol general election and the right are getting seriously nervous about the Greens policies and rise in popularity. The #NZMedia continue to either ignore or misrepresent the Greens. However the reality is, like everywhere else, the msm no longer have the power and influence they once had.

I hope 2026 will see Greens form a coalition government with NZ Labour who, it must be said, are far better than Kid Starver and his UK Labour imposters.

@jeremy_pm I desperately wanted AU Labor to have to govern with the Greens. It didnt happen this time but hopefully it’s not far off @Lazarou @ChrisMayLA6

@jeremy_pm we strayan greens voters looked at Aotearoa NZ in abject horror & disbelief last election when incomprehensibly the egregious tories were once more handed the keys. hoping like hell that gross error is corrected this time, via a greens/labour govt. may the power of hannah, heehee, sweep also across Aotearoa NZ, & then in a coupla years time, also us in straya!

The ā€œcoalition of corruptionā€ currently running Aotearoa NZ into economical, environmental, geopolitical and social disaster is the worst government of my lifetime dragging our country back into the dark ages with careless disregard of the consequences.

Great to know we have your support as indeed you too have ours.

@ChrisMayLA6

Very well said.

The sad reality is that anything which runs counter to the status quo is not going to be scrutinised so much as pilloried, mocked, associated with dubious accusations and generally defiled in every possible way to prevent reform.

The question is whether it will work this time.

@ChrisMayLA6 I’m looking forward to laughing at the ā€œRise of the Green Menaceā€ headlines in the frothing Heil, Fascgraph et al tomorrow. Followed by the explanations of how local candidates supporting community, NHS, education, justice and equality are a really bad thing for regular people.

@ChrisMayLA6

The best part though is that most of the media won’t catch onto this. The more these people can be so clueless so as to only point out what’s wrong with the system the better.

@ChrisMayLA6 Reform’s elite backing is their greatest vulnerability and Green’s best opportunity.samecapplies to Labour, sadly.

@hamishb

Yes, this is important. Far from being the party of the people, RefUK are privately-educated posh millionaires of the Establishment and they're heavily bankrolled by the same people who backed Trump in the US.

If the next UK GE turns out to be a rout of the ConLibLab Westminster parties then it would be useful to ensure that RefUK is pitched as just another WM party.

@ChrisMayLA6

@hamishb @ChrisMayLA6 And their only strength, if you ignore the unfortunate popularity of racism and victim-blaming.

@ChrisMayLA6 Don't forget the bias of the media.

The easy treatment of Reform intimates to me that the media are shepherding it towards political power.

You cannot hope
to bribe or twist,
thank God! the
British journalist.

But, seeing what
the man will do
unbribed, there's
no occasion to.

@ChrisMayLA6 Reform stands for hatred, cruelty and corruption. Their leader has displayed these traits for decades. Farage is out for himself and his own power. You think water, sewage and energy is a disaster now? Wait till Farage rules. The whole country will be a toxic wasteland.
