When Zac wins on Tuesday, it's all academic anyway, as there will be a modern party of the left in a strong position. Corbyn didn't really want another party and it shows. I expect they'll salvage something from it in the end.

I mean, no electoral vehicle is trustworthy. However, the Greens have genuinely democratic structures, so they're in a strong position for green socialists to join and keep it that way and enhance the policies & class consciousness.

My main hope is for Labour destruction and a high Green & Indy contingent in the hung parliament to perhaps force something better. Both Lab & Con reduced to a rump will be a great start.

Like I said I'll wait and see. I'm not giving any support to them in their current state.
