Question - if loads of people voted greens in the UK would that mean there’s a much higher chance of a hung parliament and what would that mean?

Why did she delete it (afaik without prompting) if that's what she honestly thinks? It's a bit cowardly imo, a bit two faced (like Starmer). It's not mandatory to like or agree with your boss .

Knowing her I wouldn't be surprised if she just didn't think it through properly and then realised what she'd actually done and deleted it.

Lol no chance of hung parliament, no chance of greens getting more than a handful of seats (likely just one)

Hung parliament would result in a coalition between two or more parties

I only ask as it seems like a lot of people see Labour as a pretty beige choice and obviously won’t vote for the Tories so might see the Greens as a protest vote. Unlikely as you say to get a handful of seats but theoretically if enough people did a protest vote would that harm labours chances by much?

In a PR system they'vd get a sizable chunk of seats but in FPTP they'll need to actually win constituencys.

Outside of Brighton and Bristol I can't see that happening

Tory protest voters will choose Reform, Labour protest voters will probably choose Lib Dem.

Quite a few of the Green Party's policies are unpopular.

Green vote is overstated anyway to be honest.

Their best polling only ever has them around 6% and that's even with alienated Labour voters heading to them.

Rouven L., the 29 year old German Police Officer who was stabbed in the neck by an Islamist attacker has died in hospital.

He reportedly donated his organs and had his parents as well as his partner by his side when he died.

The attacker should get a life sentence, just like all the other Germans who kill a police officer. Like this guy.

Looking forward to your diary of German police murders. Keep us updated everytime it happens, not just when the attacker is Muslim.

India heat: More than 50 people dead over the past three days. Heat will continue across north-west, central and eastern India but is easing compared to last week’s highs - Delhi will see low to mid-40s rather than high 40s.

More and more stories like this will be happening in the near future

They’re gonna announce a pact with the Tories lads

I reckon he's going to announce he's running as an MP somewhere.

He's been everywhere on TV recently.
