Good in principle, yes.
Still scary that the racist scum party are coming up second.

What is reassuring is that the vote was nowhere near as close as the polls were suggesting it would be. Most of the polls were having the result being won by only a couple of hundred votes, but the greens won by thousands and thousands of votes.
That’s what all the whining is about. They didn’t get anywhere near the votes they were expecting and I’m sure their backers are starting to wonder if there’s really enough appetite in the UK for them to have any chance of winning. Because if they’re not going to win what’s the point in funding them? That and the fact that Goodwin is a sore loser.
