The Greens gave voting rights to every resident regardless of citizenship. Now Britain's budget is being decided by people whose primary loyalty lies 4,000 miles away, and your local roads are falling apart while we fund motorways in Punjab.

You Voted Green Because They Promised A Post-Growth Economy And Now Britain's Most Successful Export Is Itself — Doctors, Engineers, And Anyone Who Passed A GCSE Have All Moved To Australia And The Only People Left Are The Ones Who Came For The Free Stuff

The educated millennials who voted Green for a post-growth economy have discovered what post-growth actually means: no growth, no jobs, no future. Britain's most productive citizens are queuing at Heathrow to leave, whilst the queue to get in moves much faster and consists entirely of people whose economic plan involves British taxpayers.

Abolishing No Recourse to Public Funds was meant to help a handful of desperate asylum seekers.

The Green Party studied how Lebanon's confessional system and France's banlieues created parallel governance structures, then decided this was a feature, not a bug.

Turns out dismantling the 'hostile environment' just creates a different kind of hostility — specifically for working families competing with unlimited arrivals for housing, healthcare, and school places. Lebanon tried this approach in the 1970s. Spoiler alert: it didn't end well.
