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

Garden shed?

Very much to my surprise I was one of those 1.1 m.

What's really crappy is the fact that as it stands if an election were called I'd vote for them again.


We desperately need better representation.

 

[Machiavelli]

Garden shed?

Think there's about 1400 there. You have big garden sheds round your parts (round mine, we barely have gardens, let alone sheds).

Does anybody really care who their leader is as they will always be a minority party that nobody takes any notice of. How many other than their party members could name the outgoing leader? Not many I wouldnt think.

A lot of those voters will go back to Labour now that Corbyn is leader.

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

If you liken it to football, Albion Rovers have more chance of winning the champions league than the greens have of getting in power!

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

Most people I know just laugh at her absurd views and thick she is an idealist but a bit of a crank.

Natalie Bennett. What do I win?

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

Which of her 'absurd views' do they laugh at? And why do they thick (sic) she's a bit of a crank?

A man is known by the company he keeps.

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