Locally we have a Green town councillor. A badly educated and poorly behaved idiot.
He doesn't know 12 x 12 but wants to run for Parliament.
The sad thing is nobody with any sense or experience would go into politics so we get these prannocks.

Just been having a discussion with a green supporter and one of there gems were saying they are supporting business so will give all no matter if they are doing good or not get £70 a week how will this help.
Times that by how many millions of companies in the uk are they going to pay for this.

It just gets better.

Is Lucas likely to retain her seat in May?

I caught a bit of their telly ad earlier but switched off as it seemed to be a whinge about the cost of an anytime train tickets to Sheffield.

Bizarre.

As far as I can see she's explained her brain fade - normal thing everyone does it yeah right - but she hasn't managed to explain her policy. For it to have been brain fade there must have been something there for her to have forgotten, so what is it?

Absolute nutters.

Can anyone remember another party leader being so "forgetful"? Certain puts Brown's facepalm in perspective, and look how much damage that did to his election chances

Spot on!

The greens are the remnants of cnd, having lost the battle on nuclear, they now moved on to saving the planet.
For once, Scuffers, I agree with you - at least in part. I think it's worse than that. The Greens have become an umbrella for all sorts of left wing extremists all the way out to anarchists who'd like to see western capitalist society dismantled. Labour Party moved too far to the centre? The Communist party is too toxic but the Greens are a perfect cover for pushing some far left policies under cover of saving the planet.

And the problem is that genuine sensible environmentalists have no where else to go - so they end up as bedfellows with these whack jobs. I genuinely think this is why the Tories have this somewhat incongruous nouveau-green angle to them: to try to offer some sort of alternative stable to "normal" people who have green concerns and who might otherwise get sucked into the looney Green Party.

Perfect summary.

Who might/will they take votes from in May? Who are they targeting?

They are pro Labour and happy to support them in some terrible coalition alongside SNP.

A bit scary.

Oink.

I do not think she let her self in for it with the Andrew Neil interview, it was cringingly awful. When I say I do not think she let her self in for it, I mean I think she believed that fluffy wuffy views were so self explanatory it was obvious to anyone, the panic that must have set in as the questions arrived must have awful (diddums). This must show up the whole organisation as a bit "lacking" to go into this thinking no prep along those lines is required or they do not see themselves as a serious contender which I doubt.

The manifesto must be so ingrained as gospel for the greens and a surprise when she could not answer and people were shocked at the stupidity. That is to say they (the Greens) think it is so obvious and the rest of the world would love it, though I suppose they also think there is a level of conversion for the heathens. I just wish the press would lay into them big time.

But as politico's go, some really do believe the crap they spout. Then she fell over (not literally) at the interview with the bad cold "cough cough", brain fade "wibble" and that really should be a pointer for her that she has no idea. Bad preparation after the Andrew Neil interview, and bad on so many level even for a politician in not seeing that would be taken up again. Not even an attempt at spin.

Turning arms factories into windmill factories for gawds sake. Problem is, people are voting for them. Democracy eh? Enough X's in the right place and who knows.

If anyone wishes to vote for them after hearing the entire LBC interview with Nick Ferrari, they must surely be certifiable. It was so obvious their extreme left un thought out politics of envy, crazed uncosted policies and general blathering would render them destroyers of the economy. I would urge anyone to try to hear the entire LBC interview if they haven't already and don't rely on some media outlet's edited versions.

I suspect this is exactly what happened. But what is bizarre is that she was equally flabbergasted the next time an interviewer asked questions.
