Greens Would be pretty delighted with this result really, a Labour/Green coalition would suit me just fine.

Oh yes, would be an excellent result. Probably the best.

Even though it'd probably do for them what this one's done for the Lib Dems... but then I suppose the difference in policy between LAB/GRN isn't as massive as CON/DEM.

Greens

I doubt they would win tbh <\3, are any parties offering free unis

[JoshBB]

It's sad really that Labour is trying to fight green since they could easily win back votes by doing more for the environment and promising to abolish tuition fees. Removing just £3,000 from them is not enough.

You sure are the scrooge. Idealistic in which way?

[joeysteele]

This doesn't surprise me and I also think the Greens would have good support from 16 and 17 year olds too.

I could be happy with a Labour/Green coalition and to be quite honest,I think it would make for a very successful govt. indeed.

Good to see the SNP doing well.

at least in Scotland
more young vote

Pleasing to see support for UKIP is so low

[joeysteele]

It is odd and both sad to me to think that of all the good policies that would overall benefit all of society in a more caring and fair way exist in most parties of the UK yet it is thought and hoped by some of the electorate that the most uncaring party,the Conservative party, has a chance of doing better in the 2015 election.

Only UKIP and the DUP from Northern Ireland would likely line up behind a Conservative led govt. now.
Nick Clegg will go after the 2015 election,win or lose his seat, and no new leader of the Lib Dems would be that foolish to enter any form of govt,abandoning their own policies as they did last time.

The SNP, The Welsh Nationists, George Galloway's Respect party, the SDLP in Northen Ireland and I believe the Greens too, would all be able to support a Labour led coalition/govt. rather than a Conservative one.

All those parties, along with the Greens, advocate fairer policies,the creation of better and closer communities,they all have a strong commitment to preserving and protecting the NHS and compassion runs through most of the policies they would like to try and see how they work.

Caroline Lucas for the Greens has said she would be unlikely able to support a Conservative led govt.
That actually means in votes,the anti Conservative vote is now the strongest it has likely ever been after this disastrous term of power they have had with their cruel heartlessness and injustice as to policies.

How sad it really is, that all those majority voices are not part of a whole UK coalition/agreed support movement which are able to come together and try out new and fairer compassionate policies as a govt.

Even more sad is the the media remains obsessed with UKIP and still virtually ignores the Greens, despite the polling evidence that people do like the Greens and maybe would like to hear more about and from them.

I'm surprised the greens aren't getting that out there as a point of reference to voters young and old, that they are aware of and challenge being sidelined by the mainstream media in favour of UKIP.

Sadly kizzy and I do really despair at this,it is not the parties that dictate the agenda for elections but the media,who really do a massive disservice to the elctorate and indeed all the citizens of the UK too for the way they do go about it reporting and presenting same.

It annoys me why they aren't getting passionate about it, like in the discussion about debates recently when it was proposed farage speak with the leaders... They had every right to be outraged and kick up a stink, but it never happened.

The media though keep stressing the Greens are nowhere near the support UKIP are getting in the polling.
So it has been easy for the media and the politicians to keep dismissing the Greens.

I really believe they should be on the leaders platform debating too, I also too however think the representative for the parties on the leaders debates should be a leader who is an elected MP in Parliament as well.
Which would rule out Nigel Farage and Caroline Lucas anyway, if I had my way.

I haven't a clue why Caroline Lucas has not remained the 'Green' party leader
