As for going from Green to Reform, I'm not either. I've never been Green for more than a couple of hours at a time, because
A) they're not actually green enough
B) I'm not on their same page as regards to things like foreign policy and borders.
By A) I mean they hardly ever talk about environmental issues, and when they do it's (imo) wrong  focusing on renewables over nuclear isn't very green, because nuclear has less of a carbon footprint in the creation and storage of energy, takes up less physical space when for comparable amounts of energy created, and doesn't involve the destruction and mass importing of the rainforests, i.e. Drax.

Thanks for the reply.

Goodwin is on video speaking about his true feelings about Manchester, and he was only there for 5 minutes as a student. Hannah is a plumber, not a heat pump salesperson, and she is a former resident of that constituency. SHe is absolutely not posh
The reason I asked, was because that is pure GB news style misinformation.
I think you make a mistake when it comes to renewable versus nuclear. I know it's not popular to think of China as anything other than a threat to the way of life for everyone in the west, but if you look at what they are doing, and how they are advancing the tech, especially when it comes to the potential damage to the whole planet of nuclear, then I think you might be interested in seeing what is happening.
New technologies take time to improve, but we don't get those improvements without working on the tech, which China is definitely doing.

They say the left is puritanical, and it definitely is, but you are even moreso
