Someone calling themselves a YIMBY is one of the biggest red flags that you're about to deal with an absolute bellend

I've already had some shitstain turn up in my mentions going "NATO! NIMBYS! WAH WAH WAH!" lol
Go take your bollocks somewhere else you utter fucking dork lol
And certainly not actually studied, just dismissed based on vibes
I would be very keen to know what sums they mean and what areas they are ignoring in their policy portfolio
It's wild in particular how they are ignoring that on environment and conservation that they're basically the only party with a policy positions, and given the financial, security, and *existential* threat of climate change it's fascinating how that's seen as frivolous
I'm not even a Green member and this is pissing me off, why on earth are people even contemplating this discussion based on the bullshit of think thank weirdos, journalists, and right wing creeps? Have some self-respect and stand by the fact that the policies are proven
You can level it far more strongly at every other party! The centrist and right wing parties are not providing an evidence led approach to policy or governance. This is very, *very* clear through climate, inclusion, foreign policy, and more
Hi Mark, quick question, why are the only people who like your posts massive fucking transphobes? A follow up, are you happy with the only people who agree with you being massive fucking transphobes?
My thoughts about NIMBYism is that a lot of the pushback against it turned out to be deregulation of the building industry in a trenchcoat
We know what fucking works and we have known for ages. It just gets entirely ignored by the sentient briefcases and their chums in the media. Instead, they keep going *against* best practice for governance and policy, because it doesn't suit their interests as power holders.
Lots of people pointing out that the Centrist Dad approach of the last 20 years has utterly failed, but it's worth noting that the idea that the Greens aren't big or clever enough itself is a total fucking lie.
Their policies are evidence-based, *instead* of the vibes-based approach of Labour/Cons
I can think of three off the top of my head but yeah it is slim pickings
Yeah they're two of the very few who I think it might be worth having a conversation with. Still concerned that they've stuck with it this long but at least we know they've publicly rebelled and backed it up with their votes against the whip in parliament
Bingo. The labour mps who did stand up against the party since 2024 exist, but there are fuck all of them
Yeah you can't be a party of change and hope when you're accepting the party of stagnation and bigotry into the fold
Oh and exclude any of the 2024 influx by default, those cunts ran on the Starmer ticket, they knew exactly what they were in for and exactly what Labour stood for at that point
Yup exactly so
Exactly
So few have actually had the backbone to stand by what's right, anyone else is an opportunist looking to save their job imo
Like what value do they bring to the Greens? Is it enough to bring down Labour as a governing party? Unlikely. They can go independent if they want though
Yeah, who has actually stood up to their values and the former values of their party? It's single digits
That's a really good point as well, it's undemocratic and if Greens actually want to build trust in their values they need to act accordingly tbh
So few Labour MPs have stood up to the party on any of its failings in office. So many have simply toed the line and, at most, made performative actions about it
They are cowards and/or villains, are undoubtedly corrupt, and should be held at arm's length appropriately imo
Maybe this might be unpopular but there aren't many that should be welcomed in. Instead find good local candidates to take their fucking seats and get these freeloading gravy train fucks out of there
