Greens elect new leader(s)

[BLOCK F]

Who cares?

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I think it is the way she comes across on any TV interviews like the fracking at Balcombe.

So her 'absurd views' are actually sensible, well-considered and based on extensive scientific research?

 

[jakarta]

Natalie Bennett. What do I win?

Pathetically petty and very wrong given her appearances in election debates.

Like the one on LBC with Nick Ferrari when she got absolutely skewered?

EDIT - beaten to it!

If that is what you want to think do so but I dont if you dont mind

Oh, I don't mind at all. I don't think I can remember agreeing with anything you've said about anything.

 

[Murray 17]

I would have thought their party conference could have been held in a village hall or something!

As the Greens are so in to car-sharing, it's nice that she can share a cab with the Lib Dem MPs.

Yep - car crash but hardly obscure.

I believe that one of the East Sussex Bonfire Society Committees may vote in a new member later this year, after Nov 5th of course.

In other news......

 

[The Birdman]

I feel I am green but I would not join the Green Party until they get out of being so far left they going to meet UKIP
They need to be more relistic and stop its left wing policies and concerntrate on basic green projects.
Great news banning micro beads.

 

[The Birdman]

They just said just think what it would be like having 16 Caroline Lucas in Parlimement ones bad enough.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

I don't think they have any real expectations of getting into power. Only Labour and the Tories do. That doesn't mean our other parties aren't important

Quite. It's about setting the agenda. Both the Greens and UKIP have been remarkably successful at this while acknowledging their leaders will never be PM.

 

[Chicken Run]

Mr Bartley is their work and pensions spokesman, were does he speak, does he wait outside Parliament on Wednesdays like a naughty boy.

This is exactly what is wrong with this country. We teach our kids that it is the taking part that counts. Rubbish, it is winning that matters.

very funny
although having said that I am still mentally scarred from one of my kids sports days that was entirely uncompetitive and seemed to mainly involve the waving of flags..

 

[JBD]

If she now has a new part time job that will not affect her role as the Brighton Pavilion MP, does this mean she has only been a part time MP ?

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Ah the Greens, bless em ... they make Corbyn and his motley crew appear almost sensible, rational and moderate.

Having two leaders seems a bit wasteful and inefficient though ... *tut*.

natalie bennett

she was part of the leadership debates before the last elections

she was an absolute disaster, but she was part of the debates. So I guess it depends on whether you watched them.

and to say that nobody 'takes any notice' of caroline lucas is absurd

I would suggest outside of westminster, the green party and brighton & hove - she is largely unknown.
