And, of course, the problem for people like me is I find that I do not trust them not to lurch right even if they say all the lovely socialistic things we long to hear.
We heard all that from Labour and the Greens. What we got was more of the same with a wee tweak here and there.

They will not 'steal' enough FFFG voters no matter how many 'rural pursuits' they support or 'concerns' they espouse about immigrants/Trans people/ latest clickbait bogieman distraction.

All they achieve is losing the Left.
Even after seeing the vote exists.

And FFFG can continue as always.
