    It seems that being trans is no longer an obstacle to being elected to Parliament and certainly being a non-citizen is no obstacle either.

    I love how you don't have to be pro environment to get elected.

    Apparently, a lot of the climate activists have "moved on" to more
    pressing issues like globalizing the intifada and championing trans people.

    I don't understand how people like Mothin Ali, one of the deputy leaders
    of the Greens and a rabid Islamist, is coping with the cognitive
    dissonance of supporting the trans community when his brain must be
    exploding with rage at the thought of such people even existing and
    being allowed to live. He must be damping that rage down really REALLY
    hard with the calculation that this may enable the Greens to actually
    form government so that they can do much more to aid the Islamist cause.

    Labour has almost totally destroyed themselves under Starmer and the
    hard left within Labour seem to be ready to move to the Greens or even
    run as Islamists.
