I'm not convinced that many people are paid members of Your Party as only about 25,000 people were eligible to vote in their recent EC elections.

No it makes no sense that you moved the goalposts.

Ah moving the goalposts "oh no I didn't mean dictionary definition, I meant a very specific search for the different between policy and decision".

Check out the local election results. The Greens control Mid Suffolk Council and have been the official opposition on Norwich council for many years now.

It is, the government has made a decision to have a policy of allowing the US to use our military bases.

It's a defence policy decision.

Nuclear power or weapons? The position on nuclear power isn't settled. And neither is NATO to be fair. We changed policy not long ago and could change it back potentially.

SCAM
LABOUR CAUGHT CREATING FAKE TACTICAL VOTING WEBSITE

Screenshot of a tweet that reads:
The Movement Forward | StopTheTories.vote @MVTFWD
A Warning: there is no tactical voting site called "Tactical Choice"
If you choose to vote tactically it's important to seek independent, impartial advice. And always check the source online, as printed leaflets could be out of date, or even intentionally misleading.
#GortonAndDenton

Promoted by Miles Thorpe on behalf of Hannah Spencer, both at 173 Mount Road, Gorton, Manchester, M18 7QT.

On the eve of the Gorton & Denton by-election the Labour Party have invented a fake tactical voting organisation to put on their leaflets.

Lying to voters is all they have left.

All the (real) tactical voting organisations agree: only a Green vote can stop Reform on Thursday.

This is PURE BS! You can purchase any drug anywhere in the UK.

The 'war on drugs' has failed. It's time to treat drug use as a public health issue.

The Green Party is right!

If anything the campaign has picked up steam as time has gone on, especially as there's just been more bad news for Labour and it does seem more winnable than ever.

I think the expectations are very high and the amount of volunteers they're aiming for is absolutely huge. Over 10,000 doors were knocked on last Saturday so the targets are massive.

This is huge - and proves exactly what we're saying.

We cannot have a moment of complacency - only the Green Party can stop Reform.
