The emergence of Your Party is fragmenting the left-of-centre vote. which benefits Reform

The Greens are picking up votes from Labour as well. I think when campaigning gets underway in earnest for the next election, things will change a little, but I think Labour hasn't got a hope. It's just a question of what the make-up of the rest is and how much Reform and the Conservatives can cannibalise their votes.

The electorate is really putting two fingers up at the main parties at the moment.

It's funny how the Greens are appealing to younger voters. Of course, this age group doesn't really understand politics or have that much life experience, so the Greens are just pushing popular angles to the naive and gullible to get votes. That's relatively easy when you are a minority party. You know you are never going to get in power, so you just say what you think will get you votes.
