Determined enough to find common ground with national or labour?

Unlikely.

I mean, no shit. They're a political party, of course they want to get back into government. This is like an athlete or racing driver saying they want to win.

Hopefully, though they depend on Labour not shitting their pants and negotiating their way out of government.

Yeah... I'm hoping chippy can play this well. He seems to be handling things well so far (and the greens have had really strong media time lately).

Hopefully we don't have another resurgence of the 'foot in mouth' faux pas that the greens were doing so spectacularly ~18 months ago

Just curious, is this the same Green Party as in the US's green party? If so, how does anyone honestly support it?

I'm not familiar with the US Green Party, but ours cares about the environment, equality and fairness, which people quite like. They do tend to make more unforced faux pas's than they should :D

Ours is a Russian asset to thwart elections.

Why do you think that might be the case? Do you think all Green parties are one organisation or something?

Your second question was my first question.
