I doubt any other could be, even just as bad never mind worse, except perhaps the DUP and Reform.

However under this outdated and unrepresentative election system we have, realistically there can only be either a Con led government or Labour led government.
So the surest way to get this shower of a disaster hard-line heartless CON government out, is to vote Labour.

Where Lib Dems are the only alternative however in some seats too, it would be better voting Lib Den there to help get the Cons out too.

LABOUR have had to operate in almost hung parliament or tiny majority territory many times and did.
1950 to 1951.
1964 to 1966.
1974 then right through to 1979.

They'd manage because they can compromise which is something the Cons don't.

A Labour minority supported by the Lib Dems, or even Greens if they had a few more seats.
Or even the SNP.
All that could work pretty well in my view..
A Labour/ Lib Dem coalition or pact could work too.
It did in the late 70s for a fair period of time.

i think the seats that labour would pick up in Scotland would give labour a good majority. It can't be ignored that labour will do much better there

Sunak has some audacity to warn of coalition under Labour

When his Party inflicted heartless hard-line policies in COALITION with the LibDems for a full 5 years.
They the Cons were propped up after 2017, by of all Parties the extreme DUP .

What utter hypocrisy from Sunak.
So only the Cons are allowed coalitions or support from other Parties, no other.
Their ignorance and arrogance just gets worse

Perhaps @TheGreenParty you may want to investigate your Councillor for
Gipton & Harehills seat Mohin Ali, to confirm this alleged
@X post is true.

(he deleted the account at the weekend...)

I'm not sure Carla Denyer has much idea of candidates really.
Nor the co- leader of the Greens either.
Why do they need 2 leaders???

Caroline Lucas I really admire and she is a good representative of the Greens but Carla Denyer comes across not genuine, sorry for saying that.
She comes across to me as hiding real intentions of how far she'd want to go re controlling others lives on green issues.

Well like all politicians of all Parties.
She's another who avoids dealing with more controversial matters.

No

By now Conservative or Labour or LibDem
would have spoken on this Extreme Muslim Winner.

Not always arista is that the case.

Plus the media tend to try to or more overlook ( for want of a better description), the Green Party's secrecy and lack of transparency.
Or candidate issues too.

who are underemployed or in jobs not suited to their great skills will have
subsidies and I will build housing for those of Islamic faith. Diversity is our
