So, electorally the Greens stance is working. <br /><br />On the wider point, no one is saying the EU is perfect, but I'm not convinced that leaving the EU will be any better, in fact I think it will be worse. The only way the UK could survive would be lower employment and environmental standards, to under cut the EU, which will be bad for most people, though not the 'establishment' that so many leavers rail against.

My own views moved over the last few years from Remain to Lexit, as I see the EU as probably immovably neoliberal and anti-socialist. If the Greens continue in their rather naive expectation that they can push the EU green or left, they will be frustrated. Any party that supports an organisation which allows migrants to drown in the Med or get raped and murdered in Libyan camps is not one I can vote for. I hope there are better futures than that envisaged by Greens hoping for more crumbs from the table of the wealthy corporations. Maybe I am wrong, and I'm willing to listen to counter-arguments.This Wreckagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04466419106139105455noreply@blogger.com
