A moment that changed me: a pigeon fell out of the sky – and she led me to a secret underground rescue network I had no idea what to do with the injured bird I named Belinda. But suddenly 3,000 Mancunians were happy to help, giving me a whole new appreciation of my home town

Yes my hypothetical question works both ways. Would Labour supporters vote Green if the hypothetical election was a choice between Green and Reform as only possible winners? How strong is personal conviction & party allegiance vs pragmatism of avoiding a government even further away from core values

Thanks, understand why people may prefer a Green over Labour govt. Maybe too soon to ask but interested whether that vote would change at a hypothetical GE where only Labour or Reform can win?Would people still vote Green froma deep personal conviction knowing outcome would be an actual Reform govt?

I don’t have a party allegiance, but am interested in how people think about politics. I understand some people prefer Greens to Labour, on all sorts of levels. My question was really about what happens to that vote in a hypothetical general election where only Labour or reform had chance of power.

On one hand I see where the frustration would come from, but for every decision by Labour that has caused anger/ disillusionment, are there any that you think wouldn’t be worse,from your political perspective, if it was Kemi Badenock for Nigel Farage in power?

Would you vote for them again with a different leader/vision?

Or if by not voting Labour it looked likely to usher in a far right wing government for 5 years, would you consider voting for a Kier led Labour Party then?
