I mean, would I consider voting Green? Yes, definitely. I'd also *consider* voting Tory, Reform & all the others. But that's just because I've never seen myself as limited to one position or party. The chances of me *actually* voting for any of them are extremely low!

What is the main reason that 21% of Britons are
considering voting Green?

josh-self.bsky.social•1 day ago

Concerns they are a wasted vote is the main reservation
among those who would consider voting Green

Labour and Lib Dem voters tend to feel positively about
the Greens entering government

I suspect the majority have no idea of actual policies and just like the warm and fluffy feel. Nationalising Rail, Water, Energy. Ban short haul flights. Additional £20 billion social Care. Scrap Trident. Tonnes of tax rises Not saying they're wrong but people lost their s~*t over inheritence taxes🤷

This is the real party killer. Compare how long the Green's have been around and the tiny ground they have made in that time compared to Reform (not that I'm suggesting Reform is a better option!)

Just won't work until we ditch FPTP.

Interesting that only 1% cite the leadership as a reason to consider voting for them. Despite the other positives, that's not good news and something they need to address.

I would have liked YouGov to ask what respondents thought of them having two leaders.

Their nonsensical stance on nuclear rules them out for me. If they can't even take an evidence led approach to their key policy ideas such as carbon reduction, they're not a serious party.

I always had a feeling that if we had PR the vote would be roughly split five ways between Reform, Conservatives, LibDems, Labour and the Greens. Too much tactical voting nowadays to get a sense of what people actually want from our voting system
