No surprise here this seat is beyond affluent/'true blue'. The shocking thing is the Greens won it in the first place, and never had much of a presence here. Yes, I created an account to post this loving your work for years EM.

Oh well. They gained another in Morecambe today, their first there and 24th in Lancaster and Morecambe, through a defection today

Green vote collapsing both in polls and by-elections . Surely if Polanski fails to win in Holborn & St Pancras, particularly now the hard left Fernstein has very helpfully stood aside for him, he will be ousted as Leader ? #R4today

Solid result for Kemi there.

There's nothing random about the extent of those defeats. Also most of us have noticed a significant drop in Green support in opinion polls since May.

you probably believe the greens take part in "sectarianism" and family voting, pushed by reforms matt goodwin after he lost to the greens, but the police investigated and found no evidence of that or family voting.

the actual white supremacy talking is crazy.

and btw looking at the byelections both were ONLY conservative vs greens, greens won both. then the other parties joined. that explains it. these places arent fully green left wing voters.

well i mean looking at ed davey's attempt to faragify the libdems views on immigration i dont even think he knows where his party is aligned... But fine, majority controlled council of labour suck ups or farage sucklers, and a right wing onservative stronghold. if you like that more

It's noteworthy that the protest vote has deserted the Greens.

Has it though? Last time out if was Green or a historically unpopular Conservative party candidate, and they just edged. Isn't this just a return to normality? I'd politely suggest you provide this kind of context, before folk start saying you've got an agenda?

Or maybe not now. Elections are back on for next May for the same council area The whole thing is a complete mess and no idea how Labour plan to give the power to devolved mayor's works were there are no elected mayor's or county councils split into pieces

They quite frequently make comments for example bsky.app/profile/elec...

It was an observation on the Cotswold Green Party in particular. I don't think it's an 'attack' to point out a local party lost 100% of their seats and 90% of their voters in by-elections. For balance, here's a graphic I posted last year pointing out Labour's terrible seat retention at the time.

Labour have lost some by-elections, but they haven't been wiped out of a council with (-50%) in two separate wards.

tbqhwy this feels like when people whine the free service they're providing isn't good enough and they should do x y or z—their account to do with as they see fit. Also, give them a break—they have to go to conference and pretend there's more to the party than Morrissey quotes and bread enthusiasm.

Up until today I've followed your posts, taking all the gains and losses as they come, from what I thought to be a politically neutral service. Today, however, I see that you have a political agenda, and are using your platform to undermine parties you disagree with. Unfollowing.
