Green Party in joint first with Reform

The local elections are fast approaching, and it’s the Green Party which seems to have all the momentum. A fresh example of this is a poll which has put the Greens level with Reform UK in first place:

Moving on up

As ever, it’s worth noting that a single poll can never tell the full story. It’s also the case that some pollsters can be wildly off. By looking at all the polls combined, however, we can see how opinions are shifting over time (source: Politico):

The above data tells the following stories:

• Reform have peaked and now seem to be in decline.
• Labour has mostly just lost support.
• The Tories have stabilised.
• The Greens have risen.

The Greens have got where they are with a positive message about what an ambitious, forward-thinking, people-powered movement can achieve:

The above isn’t the only poll where the Greens are performing well, either, as Stats for Lefties reported:

Of course, the Greens have had some significant help when it comes to juicing their polling. The Starmer government has failed to get much of anything done; Reform, meanwhile, are having daily scandals in the runup to the local elections. For an idea of what that looks like, here are some recent examples:

The Green Party — Forwards

None of this is to say we don’t have criticisms of the Greens, of course (the most recent being the party’s handling of their anti-Zionism motion).

Credit where it’s due, though; the party is building a coalition, and its naming the people who are responsible for the state of this country — i.e. the billionaires and their lackeys in the political and media classes.

Because this stuff is so obvious to voters now, the Greens will continue to grow as long as they stay honest to this message.
