The Greens are basically Jeremy Corbyn without the charm Reform is the BNP with a charming/ smarmy leader
Will you both **** off posting Manifestos on here? Scrolling for ****ing ages, doubt anyone is gunna sit and read them all
Actually - my issue with the Greens is they're really not radical policies at all. It's just expensive things to appeal to former Corbyn voters. Take the NATO plan, Jeremy Corbyn wanted to scrap Trident. But he was also brave enough to say the UK simply cannot remain in NATO, as those two policies are contradictory. You cannot scrap the nuclear deterrent and at the same time say you want the UK to be a forefront national power. No, you have a choice. The Greens are too scared to just say it. They want to be a weaker happy Green place but don't want to leave NATO and appear weaker. They want to have a self sufficient Green nation, but don't want to commit to building big nasty buildings to produce energy. It's all crap. Jeremy Corbyn was way better and I don't like Jeremy Corbyn.
It's radical, but not contradictory. There are plenty of NATO members without nuclear capabilities In fact, it's only three out of the 32 that do.
Ed Davey has made a bit of a plum of himself going on roller coasters and sliding down water flumes etc. But the Lib Dems are probably the most radical you can get within the 'acceptable' parameters of what people will tolerate. I'll be voting for them down here, but that's a tactical vote to get rid of the Tory MP. That said, I would like to see a Lib Dem Govt if it were ever feasible
That's true, but the UK is not Denmark, it's not Estonia. So that's misleading. The UK is a NATO leader, it's got some of the biggest responsibilities in the bloc. How the Green Party can produce a booklet that states they would just "do it" is just ridiculous and the policy is contradiction imo.
It's a radical juncture from where we are. But it's not contradictory. Personally I'd like to see a future without nuclear weapons, but I don't think the world is in a place to do that right now. It's an ambition that should be lauded though.
Yeah, they give a sort of "Nah, just the single market" I think that argument will eventually gain steam, but they have said "not this term, in the future." But let's be real the Lib Dems would absolutely rejoin the EU.
Personally, and I think I've heard leavers say the same That every member nation should be given a referendum every 10 years or so about whether they want to stay in or rejoin (I know we're the only ones to have left)
Exactly. Joining the single market is them saying we’ll do it slowly without you really noticing. They’ll need to drop it if they’re really serious about being elected.
You think? I support PR so in my world the Greens would have about 20 or something seats in the parliament, so, vote for PR and then they can make these arguments themselves.
Yeah, don't get that one either. We need to wait for these coming French elections anyway, see if the EU has any future.
Alright every 11 years then Anyway, it was something I heard one of the leavers mention on here, can't remember who But they were arguing for a choice every decade or so about whether member states should remain or leave. I think the country should also be given a choice about whether they'd want to rejoin too.
