In the UK we are finally beginning to see a shift away from the traditional 2 big parties, Labour and Conservative. Unfortunately far-right Reform are looking to be the biggest beneficiaries of this shift, however the Greens are polling ahead of Labour and they are filling in that huge gaping hole on the left that was created by Labour's move to the right.

Not that things are the same in the US other than the two-party system, but it shows that there is hope and that people should not have to settle for the less evil option. Americans should not have to keep voting against things and they should be able to vote for something.

Doesn't Labour have a supermajority in Parliament? That looks more like a one party government to me.

Don't we have a "worker's party" in UK ?

I think Jeremy Corbyn was kicking around something. But "Your Party" seems reluctant to leave the launch pad.
