The Green Party are not “about to” surpass UKIP – they already have

Back in the 1960’s and ’70s it was feared that the NF would surpass the Liberals to become Britain’s third party. Now Tom Pride shows us that it’s the Greens, who seem to owe much of their success to the perception amongst many that they fill the void in left-wing politics formed by the creation of New Labour under Blair. Blair’s true colours are shown by the fact that, according to yesterday’s Independent, he has been asked to speak at this year Republican Party summer retreat. However, whether the Greens really are a left-wing party, or merely have a left-wing façade or veneer to appeal to alienated working class voters, is a moot point. Either way, they’re still a better alternative than UKIP, the Liberals and most definitely far better than the odious NF or BNP.

Pride's Purge

(not satire)

A lot of the press yesterday got excited about the fact that the Greens are about to surpass UKIP in membership numbers.

In fact, during the course of Wednesday, the Green Party gained over 2,000 members and have now surpassed the UKIP:

.

At this rate of growth, The Greens will also have surpassed the Lib Dems in just a few days too.

Which means there’s no excuse to exclude the Green Party’s leader Natalie Bennett from the leadership debates.
