I have voted Labour all my adult life but feel I cannot support Mr Corbyn so I wont be voting Labour. I will not vote Conservative and am then left in a quandary. I am seriously considering voting for the Green Party their ideals seem to match with mind other than over Brexit as I am a 'Leave' but that is not as they say a deal breaker for me.
Anyone like to say anything for or against the Greens to help me make up my mind. All comments welcome (silly or malicious ones will be not be responded to). Thank you.

How annoying for you all there harrigran with stolen cars.
Perhaps you should report to police this Green candidate who drives around in a untaxed and unMOT'd car, proabably not insured either and the car in a bad state of repair, an accident waiting to happen!
Not a great advert for his party, is he?

They are aware of the circumstances but while it is parked on his drive they can't do anything. The thing is this man goes to work every day in the car and has to use a very main A road, why do the cameras not clock him ? I gave him the benefit of the doubt thinking the website may not be up to date so put in our registration and it came back with the exact date re-taxed.

The Green Party supports the idea of universal basic income.

Friday night, he came in from work and left the car lights on, at bedtime the lights were still on. Saturday morning he had a meeting in the town centre and the car wouldn't start, battery was completely flat. Lots of us could see the car but none of us went and told him he had left the lights on, purpose served as he couldn't drive.

Well, as a Green, he should have walked.grin

He called a taxi.
The car he drives is definitely not green, it is an old two seater. This man is the least green person in the street, he never puts his recycling bin out and the general rubbish about once or twice a year, I dread to think what he is doing with his waste.

Well, well our esteemed Green party candidate had a visit from the law enforcement officer this morning at 6.30 and resulted in having his car clamped on the drive.
