Protests, dual power, and even electoralism.

Labour and union posts go to The Labour Community.

I think the only thing that matters for a future election is whether Labour will be willing to coalition with Greens and YP or whether they will give the election to the right to avoid letting the left have any semblance of power.

Nobody is going to get the numbers necessary, Reform and Tories are not going to be enough together, around 40%, Labour, YP and Greens should come out ahead between them but Labour will be the determining factor as to whether a coalition goes ahead or not.

I take it a YP/Green coalition is waaay too much to hope for?

YP/Green coalition

China and Albania combined make up a fifth of the global GDP

I’ll admit that this has gone straight over my head. Can you elaborate please?

I think it's based on

Together, the Albanians and the Chinese make up a quarter of the world’s population —Enver Hoxha

which is true, but take out the Albanians, and the Chinese still make up a quarter. I.e. what WIIHAPPYFEW is saying is that one of these parties would be the major contributor to this coalition and the other is... potentially even unnecessary.

Unlikely that they'll have enough without Labour.

I’ll fully admit I’m wishful thinking.

I can see an electoral pact happening
