I understand your sentiments in preferring t...Bob,<br /><br />I understand your sentiments in preferring to vote Green rather than Liberal, but think you are wrong. This vote is a proxy for a second referendum. The necessity, therefore, is to maximise the vote for clear anti-Brexit parties, and to get the largest number of MEP's from such parties elected.<br /><br />Unfortunately, in England that means voting Liberal, and In Scotland SNP, and Plaid in Wales. All of the latest polls show that the Liberals are ahead of the Greens. Although the Greens are talking about these elections being by PR, really they are not. A vote for Greens, rather than Liberals, could see Labour or Brexit candidates being elected, where otherwise they would not have been. Its important to concentrate the vote for the Liberals in England.<br /><br />The truth is that it is this vote against Brexit that is the priority in this election. Otherwise I'd vote Labour. There is no real difference between Liberals or Greens. In fact, Greens where they have been elected have been worse that Liberals, and their underlying anti-growth ideology is actually reactionary, however much they dress up their politics with radical verbiage.<br /><br />We need to maximise the anti-Brexit vote, first, then deal with these bourgeois parties after.Boffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157650969929097569noreply@blogger.com
