Something crazy is happening in the UK.

In the face of Reform (which leads the polls in older generations), young people are turning to the Greens.

If you want to learn more about the Greens, I made a @greens Channel! It even includes posts from the party leader, @greenpartyzack (who I think is the only UK party leader on the Social Web!).

I wonder how the other UK parties will respond to this threat... Join the Fediverse?

A poll by YouGov from 13/10/25 showing voting intentions of 18-24yr olds. It shows the Green Party significantly ahead at 30%. Labour at 23%. Liberal Democrat at 20%. Conservative at 11%. Reform at 8%

@saskia
England is not "the UK". Both the leader of the SNP and the co-convenors of the Scottish Green Party are on Mastodon.

You south Britons have to shake off your colonial mentality.

@LillyHerself

"South Britons" ouch 😂

But yes, I wasn't aware of them, hence why I said "I think"! Thanks for letting us all know

@saskia Sorry, I was thinking of the former Scottish Green leaders, the new ones are active through the party account. #MyBad

Unfortunately, Zack seems to be on Threads, which is blocked by a great many fedi instances including mine.

Pity.

@saskia @greens Cool. Although it is a shame he's not still cross-posting everything to @ZackPolanski too. Twitter showed us what happens to social media platforms that can be bought.

@Lazarou @saskia @greens even amongst the older people (particularly in the flashpoint areas such as East Anglia) it seems they are divided between hard right and hard left (the coastal areas and Mid Suffolk seem to be boltholes for many older punks/anarchists and LGBT+ folk)
